I have space in a flower bed next to the lawn and am contemplating some kind of sculptural thing for dd's 1st birthday to have a representation of the people in the family (us / grandparents / aunts and uncles). The concept is fairly vague I know, but I was thinking of handprints in cement - maybe done individually or all in some kind of layout. Individual casts might be stacked 'totem pole' style, with plants around... the idea is that it is a permanent record of the people in dd's life, something to touch / contemplate in the future maybe.
Has anyone done anything similar (outdoors or in), or have any ideas how I might develop / execute the idea ? I contemplated a high-tech version with little screen / camera to leave video messages etc. but I think something much simpler would be more elegant...
Might also do one of all the NCT babies etc. might be quite fun for the future...
Any input appreciated.
