Custom & Memorial made for you

The most meaningful prints on the shelf are the ones that aren't on it yet. A figurine of your pet, a keepsake of a memory, a gift no store sells — describe it in a Facebook message and Melissa will tell you what's possible.

About these prices: they're real, but they're examples from dated sale posts — the current shelf and prices live on Facebook. Local pickup available from North Marion.

How it's made

Layer by layer, then the brush

Every piece is printed at home in Marion, then finished by hand — seams smoothed, details picked out, colors layered on with a fine brush. That's the difference between a print and a Dobbs print.

  • Printed in-house, one piece at a time
  • Hand-painted — no two exactly alike
  • Requests welcome: if it can be printed, ask
