This is an amazing kit for animal lovers. You can make an imprint of your little dog/cat's paw into a cell phone strap/ key chain.

It comes with everything you need....the clay,the chains and straps.

Please note: The yellow, pink and purple clays are oven clay. The pink package contains air drying clay that will be used to make the mold.

Instructions:

1)The clay in the pink package is to make a mold of your pet's paw-roll into a ball and then press down with the palm of your hand into any shape but please make sure the clay is not wider than 5.5 cm (so this is for small animals and a circle is recommened).

2) Press your pet's paw into the clay to make an imprint.

3) Let the clay air dry until it is completely dry.

4) You now have your mold. Please pick a color of oven clay (pink, yellow or purple) to fill in the imprint. Then, cover the top of the mold with a different color of oven clay.

5) Carefully, remove the oven clay imprint from the mold.

6) Preheat oven to 120 degrees Celcius (250 degree F). Put in the oven on a piece of aluminum foil for 30 minutes.

7) Take out and let cool. Make a hole where you like and attach the chains or straps.

Voila! Your pet will always be with you!

This is a vintage mold called "kashigata".

Often made of sakura (cherry wood) and seasoned for about 3 years before carving, kashigata were used to make dried confectionery made of rice flour and sugar called rakugan. Earliest records show that this practice dates back to the mid-17th century. These confections were used as offerings and snacks for celebratory occasions and even unfortunate events. For example when a person died, it was expensive to give flowers or fresh food so, people made these sweets in the form of flowers, fish etc. These items were then placed on the "butsudan" (family shrine found in the house) for the dead person.


Kashigata were also used in the making of wagashi (nama-gashi or freshly made cake and hi-gashi or dried confectionery) for tea ceremonies.


Common kashigata motifs in the Edo era - chrysanthemums, plum blossoms
Meiji Era - spread of western technology - balloons, planes
World War II - national pride heightened - cherry blossoms, battleships - used as gifts for departing troops, ceremonies and commemorative occasions


With the advent of refrigeration, fresh fish replaced rakugan motifs like the sea bream. Sadly today, making offerings for fortunate and unfortunate events is no longer a common practice. This in turn has lessened rakugan demand although they are still found in tea ceremonies and homes. The decrease in kashigata artisans today has made kashigata carving a dying craft making kashigata itself a sought-after collectible.


*You can use this mold as food mold to cook. Please clean thoroughly before using.


It measures 23.5 cm long x 9.8 cm wide x 3.8 cm tall. Inside it measures 17.3 cm long x 5.8 cm wide.

I love to make and feel satisfactions when it is done. The moment that it becomes something from none (even not in my imaginations) is my favorite time. Ofcourse I love a process to make it. I hope people love my works.
