MINI MYSTICALS
Pet Portraits/Replicas
The boy who started it all.
He was my world for 14 1/2 years and losing him was the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life. Pet Portraits are dedicated to his memory, because having his little memento by my side, where he can't be anymore, has brought so much comfort to my soul.
I now offer the same to whoever needs a Mini Comfort.
Only making dogs right now.
Cats are hopefully coming soon, but not currently offered.
Please check below for availability.

Important Info to Know About Portraits & Replicas
-
Nothing can be created with 100% accuracy and perfection.
Do not expect a carbon copy of your pet.
-
Your pet will be in my art style. Big soulful eyes with a cute caricature-ish type look. Realistic is not something I offer.
-
Please expect that patterns and colors are only going to be about 70 - 90% accurate, depending on how much pattern a pet has, and based on the variations of color for different monitors & phone screens, pictures and quality of pictures provided to me, and the process of scaling a full sized pet down to a handheld size model with different body proportions (bigger eyes take up more room on the head, for instance)
More detailed information below
-
Full size sculptures - Any pose you like within reason and my ability. Can come with simple, non-outfit props (bone, toy, treat, etc). Pose type and added props will affect price, depending.
-
Head Only Portraits - these will include a small bit of the neck, and face forward unless you'd like the eyes looking elsewhere. Comes in ornament and mini wall mount options. Ribbon color and plaque type choices available (plaque example pics coming soon).
-
Full size Pet Replicas are about 2.5-4" long and 1.5-2.5" tall depending on pose. Head Only Portraits are about ping pong ball size give or take.
-
All Replicas come with hand-painted eyes OR your dog's actual eye color replicated (if you provide proper pictures of each eye).
How To Get Started
Please give thought to the following detail before reacting to the price point
Although these may be small, their creation demands much more work and meticulous attention to detail, precision, and a steady hand, compared to something bigger.
Will you find cheaper alternatives? Absolutely! But let's talk real value.
Choosing Mini Mysticals is more than just a purchase, it's an investment in quality, American craftsmanship.
Each piece can take 8 - 40+ hours to complete, and is made entirely by me and me alone.
You are guaranteeing your piece is a genuine original and one-of-a-kind, that looks like YOUR unique dog, and that symbolizes the exceptional bond you share (or shared) with them.
You will never receive this level of quality, individualized and authentic pieces, from a company that supports penny-cheap slave labor overseas to produce millions of identical $5 plastic sculptures.
Whether your cherished companion is still by your side or has crossed the rainbow bridge, their presence was truly priceless to you.
Think about the countless memories, the laughter, and the unconditional love they provided, moments you hold dear to this day.
Now, ask yourself, isn't preserving those precious memories and the love you shared worth more than a mere $5?
Some things, like the irreplaceable bond with your beloved pet, are beyond measured value. Investing in a tangible reminder of that bond, even if it costs a bit more, can be a small yet meaningful tribute to the immeasurable value they brought into your life and something you will have forever by your side.

When it comes to my sculptures, you can be absolutely certain that I only offer my very best and highest quality work.
