How We Custom A Golden Retriever Sculpture Magnet As A Unique Gift
The story behind this golden retriever keepsake
Few dogs embody loyalty and joy like the golden retriever, and this project was a perfect example of that spirit. The client wanted a golden retriever sculpture magnet that captured their dog’s cheerful personality — complete with his signature smiling expression.
They chose one of our most popular designs: a custom golden retriever figurine magnet crafted from plaster, painted in watercolors, and finished with waterproof gloss on the eyes and tongue for a lifelike shine.
The final piece wasn’t just a dog sculpture magnet — it was a celebration of a beloved companion, made to be displayed proudly on a fridge or clipped into a car’s air vent as a unique decorative piece.

How we bring a golden retriever to life
Sculpting personality into every detail
Our process starts with a high-resolution reference photo. We sculpt the dog’s features by hand, focusing on key traits like the gentle eyes, floppy ears, and iconic golden smile. Once the handmade pet gift is sculpted, we use watercolors to create soft, natural shading that reflects the dog’s warm personality.
Adding the finishing touches
To make the sculpture feel even more lifelike, we apply a waterproof gloss to the eyes and tongue. This not only enhances the detail but also ensures the golden retriever sculpture magnet remains vibrant and durable over time.
