Knowing that the memorial art glass I create helps people work through their grief gives my work a deeper meaning.

Making memorial art glass is absolutely enriching to my soul. I witness love, I am a conduit for connection between people and their lost loved ones, and I help my clients reclaim a little power during a vulnerable time. My work makes me feel like I’m using my talents and gifts for their highest purposes. I make a tangible, meaningful difference in people’s lives. My work makes people feel better, one bead at a time. That’s amazing, wonderful, and humbling to be a part of. I am so honored and blessed to be able to do this work.

She makes gorgeous work, and for a very special purpose. This gift certificate is good for one small fancy lampwork glass memorial bead or memorial heart pendant made with love and care, using the cremated ashes of your beloved. Memorial heart pendant measures roughly 1" x 1". Small fancy memorial bead measures roughly 1/2" x 5/8".

I have signed so many marbles, pendants and pipes with that pen, it's gotta be the luckiest pen I've ever owned. :D

Thank you, Jim! :blowkiss:

One of my favorite tips with these came from Jes Durfee. Use your TI pen to write down the name of the color at the end of your rod, so you don't get them confused.

whaaaa. too cool!

but glass will always forgive
she knows i love her

Did I have to donate cash in order to get my name in the hat?

And the winner is...

Dawg House Glass!!!
