Family Hand Casting: A Timeless Keepsake from Impressions Forever
There’s a unique, heartwarming way to preserve the bond between family members that transcends time and space: family hand casting. This beautiful art form, offered by companies like Impressions Forever, captures the intricate details of your family’s hands in a lasting impression. Whether it’s a parent and child holding hands, or a multi-generational cast, the results are nothing short of magical—a tangible reminder of connection, love, and shared memories.
What is Family Hand Casting?
Family hand casting involves creating a detailed, three-dimensional mold of the hands of one or more family members. This process is done by gently pressing hands into a special moldable material that picks up every fingerprint, wrinkle, and line, capturing the unique qualities of each hand. Once the mold is made, it is cast in a durable material, often clay or a form of resin, to create a lasting impression that can be painted, personalized, and displayed.
Impressions Forever is one such company that specializes in this deeply sentimental art. With their expertise and commitment to quality, they help families create personalized and beautiful hand castings that are not just keepsakes, but works of art.
Why Choose Family Hand Casting?
Preserve Precious MemoriesLife moves fast, and children grow up so quickly. Family hand casting offers a way to freeze a moment in time—whether it’s a baby’s tiny hand, a child’s growing fingers, or the hands of grandparents who may be far away. It’s a heartfelt reminder of how family bonds evolve over the years.
Celebrating ConnectionA hand casting is not just about hands; it’s about the connection between people. Whether it's a couple holding hands, a parent and child linking fingers, or even a family of five standing together, a hand casting serves as a visual representation of the unity, support, and love that binds a family together.
A Personalized Art PieceFamily hand casts are more than just keepsakes—they are unique pieces of art that tell the story of your family. Customization options allow you to select from different finishes, colors, and sizes, making the casting a perfect match for your home decor.
Great for All AgesFamily hand casting is an art form suitable for all ages, from newborns to grandparents. Even those with mobility issues or limited hand dexterity can participate, as the process is gentle and accommodating. The final product is a beautiful, timeless memento for people of all generations.
Perfect for Special OccasionsThese hand castings make incredible gifts for special occasions such as anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or birthdays. They also serve as meaningful commemorations for milestones, like the birth of a child, or the coming together of families.
The Process of Family Hand Casting
The process for creating a family hand casting with Impressions Forever is straightforward, but filled with care and precision.
ConsultationThe journey begins with a consultation, either in person or virtually, to discuss your vision for the casting. Whether you want a simple hand-in-hand pose or a more elaborate family grouping, the team at Impressions Forever works with you to bring your idea to life.
MoldingThe molding process is safe, non-invasive, and gentle. Each family member’s hand is carefully placed into a special moldable material that captures the finest details. The team at Impressions Forever ensures that the process is smooth and comfortable, taking extra care with babies and elderly members.
CastingAfter the mold has set, it is transformed into a lasting piece of art, typically made from clay, resin, or other durable materials. The team at Impressions Forever meticulously finishes the casting, ensuring every detail—from creases to fingerprints—is preserved.
Finishing TouchesOnce the casting is complete, the final step is customization. You can choose from a variety of finishes—whether you prefer a polished, natural look or a painted and engraved design to commemorate a name, date, or special message. The casting is then sealed to ensure longevity, allowing you to enjoy the piece for many years to come.
Displaying Your Family Hand Casting
A family hand cast is meant to be displayed proudly in your home as a cherished family heirloom. These castings are highly customizable, meaning they can fit perfectly with any interior style, from modern and minimalist to rustic and vintage. Whether displayed on a mantelpiece, hanging on a wall, or set on a console table, a hand casting serves as both a conversation piece and a deeply meaningful reminder of family love.
Here are a few ideas on how to display your family hand casting:
On a Shelf or Mantelpiece: A perfect way to showcase the cast, allowing it to catch the light and highlight the intricate details.
As Wall Art: A shadow box or floating frame can be used to display the cast on a wall, making it a striking and personal piece of decor.
In a Family Room or Entryway: A great location to display a family hand casting, where all members of the household and visitors can see and appreciate it.
Conclusion: A Lasting Legacy of Love
Family hand casting is more than just a keepsake; it’s a legacy. As your family grows, expands, and evolves, your hand casting remains a physical representation of the love and connection you share. Companies like Impressions Forever are there to help you capture that moment in time and turn it into something truly special—a piece of art that will be cherished for generations to come.
So, whether you are looking for a meaningful gift, a unique way to commemorate a milestone, or simply a way to celebrate your family, family hand casting is a beautiful and lasting choice. It’s a timeless art that speaks volumes about the bond that unites your family, today and for years into the future.

It’s kind of funny that people keep arguing about which love interest Klaus Mikaelson loved the most when canonically he would have screwed his family over in order to bring Cami O’Connell back from the dead. And knowing him, he would have justified it perfectly.
#klamille#cami o'connell#klaus mikaelson#the originals#antis dni i don’t have patience for your nonsense#reference? TO 4x11#klaus was gonna dagger kol for betraying the family and putting hope at risk to save davina and kol got him to relent by reminding him#that he would have done the same thing for cami#and fair because camcam kept her faith in him even when his family didn’t given everything the fam endured at his hands#she was the person whose faith he wanted to keep#and they had to kill my girl off to quote unquote make the family tighter because by that point our man only wanted two things#getting to raise his kid and spending time with cami#but lest we forget she was the reason his familial relationships became healthier and his siblings got to see the likeable nik again#nah i blame their marketing so much for the disrespect cami and klamille get#they were making the guy live and die on her sword while the marketing for them was just zilch#and they were audaciously saying stuff like klaus doesn’t have a love interest when cami was CAST as his love interest#m talks klamille

By the way, did we ever talk about how stupid it is that they made Silco the reason Felicia died? I don't mean that he killed her personally, but that he jumpstarted violence on a peaceful protest. Because that's sooo who Silco is, right? A character who makes impulsive and poorly thought out decisions, right? A character who goes into a fight headstrong without carefully planning his moves and strategy and just YOLO-ing it, right? Right?? ......sigh
And don't even THINK about giving me the whole "wElL hE cHaNgEd SiNcE tHeN dUh" crap. Even s2 is smart enough to show us him writing something in a notebook in a flashback, which implies that he was the brains behind the Lanes' creation/revolution as a whole. And if he was he would never sabotage his own plans with something so stupid as throwing a single molotov at enforcers. Literally who does that???? Silco we know would probably organize an attack under the guise of a peaceful protest, but not just. Straight-up ruining just a regular peaceful protest. That's stupid. And Silco is the last character in arcane that would do something stupid. Literally the whole plot of season 1 relies on him being intelligent and sneaky with his plans are you kidding me.
#i mean. silco DID do something stupid. that being his attempt to kill vi and cait near the water tower#but i'll actually close my eyes on this one because writers just couldn't allow him to kill them because they're part of the main cast. but#if he wanted he would've killed them then#with the rifle cait gave to the pharmacist for example *twirls hair* yeah you get it#stop assassinating him for the love of god he's already dead#silco arcane#arcane critical#arcane season 2#arcane#also i remember a post comparing him to jinx like. they accidentally killed their family when they only wanted to help#but that doesn't work for several reasons. first is ofc silco's character as i wrote above. and not only he is a different character he's#much older too. jinx was what? 9? when she blew up the cannery. while silco was in his mid-late 20s. you don't think the same in this age a#a nine year old. second is the circumstances. jinx only built a bomb with whatever she had at her hands at the time because she needed to#act fast. otherwise silco would kill her entire family. silco on the other hand started the whole thing. it would make a little bit more#sense if he threw a molotov as a reaction to enforcers beating someone up/arresting someone but we don't have this implication iirc#so. please please please don't try to find reason in bad writing i literally lose my sanity

Just finished the first sleeve of Cardigan S (Pattern | Yarn | Thread) on this lovely Wip Wednesday.
Not exactly looking forward to the 135 rows that'll be to knit the second one but. At least it didn't get too boring with the wrong side lace.
I also checked and the cables look funky with the lighting, if I flip this sleeve around and photograph it with the light source on the other side, the cables look fucked up in a totally different way than they do in this photo. This yarn is just super dramatic in photos.
#knitting#knitblr#wip#wip wednesday#lace rot#project: cardigan s#my hands are so ouchie with the weather. there's been several days where i can only knit two rows of this per like half hour#but i've started casting on for the second sleeve#and i'm probably going to cast on for a hat. i like to have something easy to knit during family holidays#got a beut lime green that's going to be a sick hat.

The fact that its now being rumored/gossiped that the HP reboot resorted to open casting calls because they failed to get any famous child actors to play the leads and very likely do the same with other kid characters and even the adults (if they don't resort to getting the worst adults in hollywood) because its being rumored/gossiped even adult actors are hard to get on board, all due to JKR, has me like:

...So essentially, they preying on kids right now who aren't actors and either want to be an actor or being dragged into the audition by their parents wanting a big break (or because they a potterhead who forces their shit onto their kids)??? That's just fucking great.
#harry potter#harry potter critical#anti jk rowling#anti jkr#fuck jk rowling#fuck jkr#like one hand its hiliarous JKR has tanked the casting process because#that means WB is SEEING how much JKR is a walking PR nightmare and yet STILL pushing forward with this shit#but other hand that means they now gonna take advantage of kids who are new to hollywood and shit#and thats concerning as hell#these kids need so much protection at this rate#from WB to JKR trying to control them to potentially their family members to hollywood in general to the internet to..anything really#like just protect them

THE BROTHERS SFORZA
augh. there sure is a lot going on between them. tfw you know your older brother is wary of you so you have to navigate that fine line of proving you're useful, but not dangerously so. tfw your younger brother has the potential to be a knife in your back, but he's your brother. don't think too hard about what happened with the galeazzo. unfortunately, you're both visconti as well as sforza, and the visconti were prone to conspiracy. fucking RIP.
this definitely won't be upsetting years down the line when ascanio is near death and ludovico will be desperate to figure out how to bring his brother's body back to milan so ascanio can be interred in the same place as ludovico's recently deceased wife, beatrice d'este, and where ludovico himself has been haunting in a perpetual state of grief.
& the background of the first panel are public domain scans of two cards out of the visconti-sforza tarot deck.
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
#ABSOLUTELY BANANAS PHRASING abt one of these paragraphs btw#'metafora della sottomissione del figlio al padre' okay!! like going into that dynamic with your older brother is so. sooooooooooooo#like it makes sense. this is a dynast family. the father is dead. the eldest son was assassinated.#so now your older brother who was not the eldest brother WOULD assume the father-head of household role#and in the case of an emergency. you would fall into place as his right hand#which was. which was formerly occupied by your mother. and your older sister to the assassinated brother. so. WELL#that IS how you would prove you were useful to the state-household. it's just that.#NOBILITY IS SO FUCKING INSULAR ALL THE TIME. christ#the claustrophobia of being suspicious of your brother but having to rely on him#better to follow the plan your parents and eldest brother had in mind and marry him off to the church#italian renaissance tag#ascanio sforza#ludovico sforza#komiks tag#drawing tag#anyway eventually i'll figure out an art style i like for the renaissance cast. i think im getting close#but AUGH im still missing that feeling of 'yes. good.' im leaning towards the dead lineweight tho. that feels Right.

🤖 Oh, do all androids look the same?
Is THAT what you’re trying to say?! A rare VHS copy of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode featuring “DataLore”, where the back image shows Brent Spiner’s stunt double (this Tumblr post includes snippets of Wil Wheaton explaining how he got fired for being annoying).

SOOO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SEASON 4???
(love your art btw!!!)

smeltbracket found dead in this kitchen
#okay in all seriousness though i fucking loved it#hands down favorite episode was earth rake#but also contending is stockiverse and.. Bouillabaisse..#i really love how family focused this season is. dont get me started on tervo. i love how much nicer everyone is to each other#except for them really juicing up korvo’s bitchiness in super gooblers (which i guess was meant to push jesse into her confrontation)#speaking of korvo his voice was a delight this season. just so expressive and is now up there with the rest of the casts distinct voices#i guess trying to ease back into finales that end with a season reset#and why didnt pupa change color??#overall it was pretty fucking great. had black spots in my vision during the invisible kitchen scene#tervo this season was fucking crazy my god what are they gonna do for the valentine special#UGHHH. they really keep raising the bar every season. SOOOO GOOD#this isn’t a very In Depth discussion of my thoughts sorry i need to spend more time in this seasons nooks and crannies#ooh ohh and the replicants this season were so cute too. THEY GREW TOGETHERRR#i liked the shlorp lore and little peeks into their past too#anyways i got sidetracked yeah amazing season#I FORGOT TO MENTION THE ANIMATION#THE ANIMATION THIS SEASON WAS BONKERS DUDE. LOVED HOW FLUID IT WAS AND ALL THE FUN NEW EXPRESSIONS THE SOLARS HAD#THAT SCENE OF THEM SAYING DEENOSAUR WAS LIKE MY FAVORITE EXAMPLE#gonna keep adding as i remember things im glad they wanted to explore jesses character more#but i dont like how they jeopardized korvos character for them to get there#kinda made him backtrack his progress for the sake of that episode :/ just a really big shift i wasnt a fan of#and they didnt make him feel remorse that whole episode either he didnt even say sorry :/#also terry was just chill with chris that whole episode? have we just moved past the hall of betrayals thing?#i guess jesse’s roast about him being sky blue really just set him off for the rest of the season#he needs to talk to someone professional#i feel like solars is a really weird blend of being umm. Emotionally episodic

That whole, uh, I don't want to go back to school thing. Were you just saying that to Cooper or were you, you know, saying it? Sam? I don't know. You don't know? I thought that once the demon was dead and the fat lady sings that you were gonna take off, head back to Wussy State. I'm having second thoughts. Really? Yeah. I think. Dad would have wanted me to stick with the job.

redrew a few old expressions from february!!! one never notices how much their art style changes in some months till you compare side by side www
(the old ones for comparison ↓)
#re:kinder#yuuichi mizuoka#fanart#you had no idea how bad my hand was itching to draw him i was so gon die there (joke)#more so because i replayed the game these days and wanted to check my old expression sheets from february i made based on some lines ...#usual commentary time☺️☺️☺️#top left may be obviously different and thats because i didnt actually base it off the old one in that case. i based it off his sprite#but the old one is based on that same sprite; just with context of line so...#no idea what went on these months that the way i drew his ahoge went from simple strands to little circular things JEKSNDL#im not sure how to explain it but point is i . i dont know what happened there but now my brain doesnt let me draw it any other way#top right had his line of sight changed for a very goofy detail i completely overlooked in the old one ... he is the baby of the group😭#it's very unlikely anyone's shorter than him and since everyone goes from being 1 to 4 years older than him. hes gonna end up looking up😭😭#it would be one thing if the cast was older because puberty and height and stuff but it aint the case here cuz. he's like. 7??😭#so i found it funny he was looking down in the old one then i fixed his line of sight to he looking upwards . which looks goofier on him#really adds to it. the person who killed your whoel family needs to look up to look at you in the eye😭 cuz its a little baby😭😭#the fun thing in comparing the old and new is how my approach in drawing him just. changes completely#back then i did the chibi like approach when drawing him thats it. that was the mindset#now it's “he needs to look more like a bug MAKE HIS EYES TAKE MORE SPACE IN HIS FACE he neeeddds to look like a bug ...”#worked i need to put him in a blender /JOKE JOKE JOKE LIGHTHEARTED JOKE😭😭

If I got a DnDads tattoo would that be peak cringe or-
#listen. alright. hey listen listen listen#I have like. 3/4 tattoo ideas currently.#I want a bear skull with flowers for my shoulder. a garfield on my shoulderblade.#and then a bigtop burger tatto and now recently. a dndads tattoo. havent sketched out ideas for either but im thinking!!!!#i was like “ oh maybe i can like. commission?????? handwriting??? from the cast??” bc thats normal#but also in the unfortunate circumstance of Public Figure being exposed for Bad Thing i would fucking personally skin myself .#Bigtop Burger one would either be Penny based or something with the J family from Wire......#OK I DID SKETCH OUT A FOREARM TATTOO. OF THE J FAMILY SLIDING DOWN A WIRE TOGETHER but idk if i want something that obvious yknow#Other dndad tatto ideas: Darryl Wilson's fucked up hand. Like a Dndads “crest”. A D20 with different character items as numbers?#Also was thinking a doodler tattoo bc that covers S1 and 2#And if i got cast handwriting. it would either be just Matt or All of Them. and just having Matt feels wrong??????#like “ sorry.... only he gets his handwriting on my body” thats just Weird.#dndads#dungeons and daddies#tagging this because fuck it we ball#maybe one of Darryl's brew? like the bottle. i do like bottles#it would be a forearm tattoo ideally
