i havent really dont much research on this myself yet , but i thought id get your guys opinions first, and see how possible it is.
i dont blow glass yet so i am looking for somebody else to do this for me.

i recently had a very special pet pass away that was very close to me. we had him cremated and we finally got back his remains today. Im looking to get some encased in a glass pendant or possibly some sort of pipe or multiple peices.

my question is,

is it possible to blow the remains of a loved one in some glass. im not looking for a hollow encasement, but actually some streaked in some clear, or maybe used with some colour for a pattern

if you guys/girls have any examples or thoughts please let me know, or if any one has ever done this before.. im going to shop around for a while for this, but i wanted to hear some thoughts from you pros.


EDIT: oops i guess i should have searched the forums before posting this. i just found this http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11019&highlight=ash+glass

any further input though would be great. and are there any pics?

Ive made many pendants and hearts with cremains(ashes) of pets.Some small paperweights and sculptures too.Anyone Ive made them for have been very happy with them.They tend to make a lot of air bubbles when encasing them and it takes longer than a normal encasement.Ive made most with the ashes visible and some in side of colors.

Hmm, sounds possible, the closest thing Ive seen is Adam G doing that nkotb trading card encasement in the hot shop.
