How to Do Fingerprint Jewellery in 3D Metal Clay – more details coming soon, please bear with us whilst we put together all the info you’ll ever need. You can definitely add cremation ashes, breastmilk, hair and umbilical cord to metal clay but there are a few caveats. Check back soon for more!

Alternatively, you can use a silicone putty kit to create a mould of the fingerprint, thumbprint or noseprint etc then create a master/positive of the finger/thumb/nose to stamp into metal clay.
