A LITTLE PIECE OF ART
AN ODE TO YOUR TRANSFORMATION
A FOREVER MEMORY OF THE LIFE
GROWING INSIDE YOU
OUR MISSION IS CLEAR: TO EMPOWER MOTHERS ON THEIR JOURNEY TO MOTHERHOOD BY CAPTURING THE BEAUTY OF THEIR BUMP IN A UNIQUE ART PIECE
Motherhood is a profound journey that allows every woman to experience the joy of nurturing a baby, yet each path is uniquely her own. The diversity in pregnancy bumps is a beautiful testament to each woman's individuality. Celebrating this extraordinary journey, we offer a custom sculpture of YOUR BUMP to symbolize your personal experience.
Based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, we are situated within Maia Mothers Collective in Ascot. We also hold regular pop-up events in Melbourne and Sydney.
JOURNEY
01
BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT
You can easily check our availability through our online booking system. To secure your appointment, a $100 deposit is required, which will be subtracted from the total cost. You will only be charged the remaining balance after your appointment when you've made your material and size selections.
It's advisable to schedule your session between approximately 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. However, we can capture your bump at any stage.
If you're expecting multiples, you may want to arrange your appointment earlier.
In the event that you discover us at the last minute, kindly reach out to us directly, and we will do our best to accommodate you as soon as possible.
02
DURING THE APPOINTMENT
During your appointment, you'll have the opportunity to meet Libby, the owner of SETT+MAXE.
This session will give you the chance to experience our collection firsthand, allowing you to see, touch, and hold the pieces. It's also the perfect time to address any questions you might have.
We will guide you through various poses that are possible, and once you've made your selections, we will initiate the photography session, which typically takes just a few minutes. During this process, you'll stand very still while we photograph you. It is a standard camera and poses no harm to either the baby or the mother.
For optimal results, it's recommended to conduct the scan without wearing underwear. However, if you're not comfortable with that, you can wear seamless and light-colored underwear.
03
CREATION OF THE ARTWORK
Following the appointment, we take your file and prepare it for the printing or casting process. Your sculpture will be completed in roughly 12 weeks for a Classic sculpture and approx. 16-20 weeks for a bronze cast.
At this point, you can either collect the beautifully packaged artwork in person or have it sent directly to your home address, where you can choose the perfect spot in your nursery, bedroom, or living room.
Are you prepared to celebrate yourself?
For any inquiries or clarifications, please refer to our FAQ section or feel free to reach out to us directly. We're more than happy to address all your questions.
Hello and welcome,
I’m Libby, a mother of two rainbow babies and a fiancée, and the creative director behind SETT+MAXE! With a background as a qualified Interior Designer, my artistic journey has evolved into crafting these beautiful pieces of art for you.
In 2021, during my second pregnancy, I was inspired to capture and preserve the profound beauty of that moment. The experience of pregnancy is truly extraordinary, and I wanted a tangible memory to relive that special time.
At SETT+MAXE, we celebrate not just the incredible journey of pregnancy but also other significant milestones or personal achievements. We blend advanced technology, meticulous handcrafting, and traditional bronze casting to create these unique pieces.
Our sculptures make exceptional artworks and unforgettable gifts, whether for yourself, your partner, a friend, or a loved one.
I look forward to the chance to meet you soon and to capture the beauty of your bump!
Kindest,
Libby
Owner
SETT+MAXE
