Boronia Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I may be missing something here...do you mean paw print stepping stones? if you do you can buy moulds ---> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Paw-Print-Stepping-Stone-Paver-Maker-Mould-Concrete-/300759981818?pt=AU_Pet_Supplies&hash=item4606b11efa Edited September 5, 2012 by Boronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) One of the people at my pottery group made a beautiful memorial plaque (out of stoneware clay) for her dog. Perhaps if you were to go to a local arts/pottery group and ask..there would sure be some people there who would be happy to help you with a design, and perhaps even make you a stepping stone using your design. Once the stepping stone is made (you can make a raised design on it, or carve out a design) it is then dried for a week or two, then a bisque firing (1st firing, to really dry it out) then glazed...this is where you can either paint (with glaze), or ask the potter to paint on the design, it is then covered with a gloss glaze. It is then fired again to a stoneware temperature. When finished it will be waterproof and Very Hard Maybe worth enquiring about.

pipsqueak Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've never used any of these companies, and I don't know if they're what you're looking for (nor are the in SA) but thought it might be a starting point... http://www.talkingstones.com.au/pet-memorials/ http://www.petheavenmemorials.com.au/phm/grave_Markers-Talking_Stones_Family.html http://www.petmemories.com.au/products/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penumbra Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 They cost a bit don't they... Oh well, unless somebody would do it for less (like Boronia said), I guess I've got no choice. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
