Last weekend, I was honoured to be asked to create some memory beads for a friend in honour of a dear pet that had passed away.
The process of including a pet's ashes in a handmade bead allows the wearer to hold the memory of their pet near as a touchstone in a piece of jewelry.
A small amount of cremated remains are infused into the molten glass as it is wound on the mandrel creating a beautiful piece of art.
I wanted to share some photos of this beautiful creature and the beads that were created for her dear family.
Thank you Matt for allowing me to write this post and I am happy to say that in exchange for my time and materials, the family has made donation to the local SPCA in memory of beautiful Bella.
