where can i find this?

Another option is Photo Polymer plates (which is how I did my Thoth pendant)
Once the plate has been made you can reuse it over and over again

Saw that - I thought that if I needed a reproducible pattern like that, I'd probably engrave a brass plate to do it (or aluminium if I was going to be lazy). Not as useful for your detailed photo-based patterns though.

Oh - meant to ask - have you tried superglue/cyanoacrylate fuming for lifesize fingerprint reproduction?

don't forget maplins have shops too.

Nope never tried that - though it sounds interesting, would love to give it a go for comparison!
The wonderful media of PMC lets me take a direct impression though

Good point. I suppose that technique might be more useful if you wanted to reproduce the same print several times - but otherwise, why make things more complex than they need to be?

I was reading on notonthehighstreet.com about one maker who sends kits out to her customers that they return with the fingerprint. I can't for the life of me work out how that works. Anybody?

Either he's sending the PMC itself or (much more likely) he's sending a 2 part moulding compound. The customer takes an impression and sends it back.
He would then use fimo or similar to make a finger which is then baked and used like a stamp....

Ah, that makes sense - thanks Nic
