Featured house numbers designs

Lily
$350.00

Our most popular plaque by far!

A standard design where you can customize which glazes we use for the flower, stem, numbers, background, and border.

On average, plaques are roughly 14 by 7 inches; the numbers are three inches tall. All numbers come with mounting hardware pre-attached for easy hanging. They are weatherproof and ready for long-term exterior use. Once sculpting begins, changes are likely not possible.

Custom Flower & Plant Plaque
from $400.00

Floral plaques are our specialty! Name a flower and we’ll figure out how to make it. Among others, we’ve sculpted sunflowers, magnolia blooms, daffodils, hydrangeas, cosmos, dogwood blossoms, bushels of roses and tulips, ivy vines, mushrooms, and monstera leaves. This option includes all plant-based designs, including trees and foliage.

Some of our favorite examples include:

  • Flowers that match the name of your child e.g. Rose, Iris, and Ivy.

  • Wedding gifts where we use the same flowers featured in the wedding

  • Plants that have a special meaning to your family e.g. an orange tree that was cherished by a grandfather before he passed

So take your time and get creative. Consider what would mean the most to you and your family. Then let’s make something lovely together.

How it works:

Once you add this item to your cart, a form will pop up where you can describe what you have in mind. Using that information, we’ll create a rough sketch of the composition and then reach out to refine the design and discuss which glazes you’d like us to use where.

On average, plaques are roughly 14 by 7 inches; the numbers are three inches tall. All numbers come with mounting hardware pre-attached for easy hanging. They are weatherproof and ready for long-term exterior use. Once sculpting begins, changes are likely not be possible.

*Note: Hydrangeas are more expensive because just one flower takes me three hours to sculpt. There are so many petals!

Custom Animal Plaque

A perfect plaque for animal lovers.

Some of our favorite examples include:

  • A blue bird, which represented a lost loved one
