Handmade stories you can hold
A little about me
Hello, I’m Gemma and new to the resin world. I’m a firm believer that life isn’t about perfection, it’s about reflection.
We all have heroes. The people and pets who make us laugh, inspire us, and leave us with stories worth keeping. A little looking glass moment, a chance to pause, smile, and remember.
Our heroes come in all shapes and sizes, two legs or four, hair or fur, young or old.
There’s nothing I love more than creating a simple, meaningful gift, or a token of what once was. Whether it’s light-hearted and full of fun, or something made in memory, I’m here to help you hold that story close.
At miniheroes.uk, I create personalised resin pieces built around your story. I use miniature character heroes and pets, themed backdrops, and meaningful details inspired by favourite moments, memories, and hobbies. For remembrance pieces, I can include ashes, hair, or fur, and I handle every inclusion with care and respect.
I also offer keepsake jewellery, including pieces that can contain ashes, hair, or fur.
From fun gifts and décor to remembrance keepsakes, every piece is handcrafted to order and made with care, respect, patience, and a whole lot of heart.
How it all started
My work is inspired by my mum, the most fun-loving person I ever knew… Alison (Ali) 1962–2025 ♥.
After she passed, I looked at keepsake jewellery containing ashes, but I couldn’t afford what I had in mind. So, I decided to learn how to make something myself. Not long after, relatives asked if I could create pieces for them too.
I fell in love with resin, the creativity, the detail, and the satisfaction of making something that feels truly personal. I have continued to experiment, learn new techniques, and invest in equipment to improve the finish and the detail.
I started with keepsake jewellery and ornamental keepsakes, and then the idea came: mini character heroes and pets, placed into themed little worlds, made to capture the things that made someone who they were. That is how miniheroes.uk was born.
Ethos
My ethos is to celebrate life’s characters. The fishermen, the golfers, the cat lovers, the sofa snugglers, the dog-walk champions. I make keepsakes that feel personal, playful, and full of heart.
I believe in:
-
Story-first making
The “mini hero” always reflects your person or pet, creating pieces that spark a smile and a “that is SO them!” moment. -
Handcrafted quality
No mass production. Every piece is made to order with time, attention, and detail. -
Kind, clear communication
You’ll always know what’s happening, what I need from you, and what to expect next. -
Care and dignity
Remembrance pieces are handled sensitively from start to finish, with genuine care and respect whenever you need something meaningful.
Blast-off
The pieces on my website represent my journey so far and the beginning of something really exciting for me. I can’t wait to see where this venture takes me… and the stories I get to help bring to life.
Ordering
I keep the ordering process simple. You share a few details, like the theme, colours, favourite hobbies, and any special items. I’ll suggest a design, then I’ll handcraft your miniheroes.uk piece and deliver it safely to your door.
Whether you want to include ashes, hair, fur, or another small keepsake, I can set it safely into your piece, so you can honour the people and pets you love. If your piece does include any additions, I will share simple guidance on how to send them safely. I treat all inclusions with care and respect from the moment they arrive.
