I gave my parents a kit like this a few years ago. They thought it was silly and didn’t make much of it, but they went along with it. It was displayed at their 60th wedding anniversary celebration, sat on a shelf in their home, but wasn’t something they cherished. Last March my father passed away and this has become a beloved treasure for my mother and sits with pride in her living room where she can always see it. She makes sure that anyone who comes to the house sees it. She adores it and all the memories that little piece of plaster jogs for her. I’ve seen her lovingly place her hand on top of the sculpture and tears well up in her eyes. I highly recommend doing this if you’re lucky enough to have both your parents yet. Don’t wait, don’t pass up an opportunity to make a treasured item that can be passed on when they’re gone. I know someday it’ll be in a place of honor in my home.

What an awesome idea. My parents have a 53 anniversary coming in May. They argue and bicker like many old couples do. LOL if I could convince them to do this it would be a wonderful memory if not for them at least me when they are no longer on earth. Can you wear your rings with this without ruining them? Jami and Lester you should get commission on these. LOL I bet many will be bought from this video. I love the story of you two and what you have accomplished. You bring joy to so many of us through your videos

I also think you could do this with your best friend of 30-40-50 years, two women or two guys, always best buds. Or a mother and child, father and son or daughter. It would be a great memory for the one who lives the longest. How they was always there for you thru good and bad. The laughter and the tears, joy and pain. A true friend who always came thru for you no matter what and forgave all your imperfections and faults and loved you anyway.

As for Lester, well, any man who lies on the ground laughing while a mob of animals peck and climb over him is a Keeper! You two are a sweet couple! This hands - sculpture was a lovely video. All your critturs are adorable, that chicken left her nest to join you on the bathtub 🤣! I love the black stripes on (?) Ivy. Does that hint of some Zebra blood? Well, I feel bad for all you folks' trouble in this fierce winter weather. Being from Canada's east coast we got used to it. Take care, and carry on... Cheers!

Jami's hand showing she is his partner and what you said about the hair band mark is exactly what I thought when I saw that! Put it on a wooden base and get a little "tag" with the date y'all did the mold. Maybe "Lester 💘 Jami" on it to place on the wooden base. The base is to keep it steady and preserve furniture/shelf that you place it on, from scratches. I'm tickled pink that it came out great and the whole story(he's) that go with it!
