01How a globe gets made

Four steps from your phone to a shelf.

You see a render at step two and nothing is printed until you approve it.

  1. Step one: a photograph of two people, the starting point
    01

    Send your photo

    Any clear shot of the people you want inside — a proposal, a wedding, a family portrait.

  2. Step two: the figures rebuilt as a 3D model in CAD
    02

    We sculpt the figures

    Each person is modelled by hand from your photo. You see a render before anything is made.

  3. Step three: the figures printed in full colour
    03

    Printed in full colour

    Industrial printing puts the colour through the part, so clothing and faces hold up at an inch tall.

  4. Step four: the finished figures sealed inside a snow globe
    04

    Set and sealed

    Mounted on a custom base — sand, snow, or a dated plaque — and sealed inside the globe.
