Silver making molds

[beadspoke]

I would like to make some charms from people's foot/handprints. Although I know how to do this for children's fingerprints, I do not know how I reduce the size of an adult's footprint to make the necessary mold. Can anyone help please? Many thanks. Rosemary

One way would be to use high contrast images which you had reduced in your photo editing suite and printed to the size you needed and then made photopolymer plates to press the design into the clay. Cookson sell a kit and further info can be found by googling a tutorial like this one:
