How did you start doing this?
Leslie was a student of Maxiofacial technology and they cast their own hands when they were married in 1987. Then their daughter Shelby was born in 1989 and they wanted a sculpture of her hands as a baby. Through the years Leslie and Randy have used their skills as accomplished dental technicians to perfect the process of creating these beautiful heirloom sculptures.(top)
