Coco's Story — Holding a Memory, Not Just Seeing It

It feels like holding a memory, not just looking at one.

The moment

When they're gone, photos can feel “over there.”

We wanted something here —something you can hold, keep close, and reach for without scrolling.

It starts with the look you remember most: the eyes, the ears, the quiet gentleness.

The making

We paint with the reference beside us—checking proportions and expression first.

Color is built in thin layers to keep the coat soft and dimensional, never printed-on.

Under magnification, we refine the eyes and small signature details—like the pearl necklace and blue pendant—until it feels unmistakably them.

The reveal

Finished as a leather pendant you can carry every day.
No albums—just a small, steady way to keep them close.
