"We were given beautiful bespoke bookends (depicting ourselves no less!) as a unique and charming wedding gift. We were so impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail - they even showed us participating in our favourite hobbies (reading and playing guitar). We loved them so much we put them on top of our wedding cake! They were a great talking point on the day and now have pride of place on our mantelpiece as a permanent memento."

"I first commissioned Kirsty to make a Frida Kahlo sculpture for my mum's birthday, knowing how much she loves the painter. Kirsty was absolutely fantastic all the way through the process, and was happy to work from a sketch that I sent her showing the pose and the animals that I wanted her to have. She was able to provide suggestions that made it look even better than I had hoped, and I absolutely loved the result, as did my mum! After that wonderful experience, I used her again to make a wedding present for my cousin, and asked her to make their two dogs as sculptures. Once again, she delivered, and worked closely from the photos of the two dogs - she captured their spirit perfectly! I will definitely use her again, the sculptures are such a different and beautiful gift, and being able to be so involved in the process was amazing. I recommend her highly!"

"I bought a handmade tattooed mermaid sculpture from Kirsty, and I love her! She's a lovely bright addition to my bathroom, one of a kind and fabulous detail on her! Everyone keeps commenting on her when they see it, it's always good to have guests with art envy! Thanks, Kirsty!!"

"We are so pleased with our custom bookend sculptures by Into Ophelia's Garden! The attention to detail is incredible, from our hair styles down to individual tattoos and props. They're definitely a talking point! I think we'll treasure them even more the older and flabbier we get!"
