remains of a dog

[sleepingmonkey04]

I was wondering if i could put the ash of a freinds dog in a pendant? would this cause checking?any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

it looks a lot like crappy air bubbles in boro, but looks good, more like diamonds, in soft glass. good luck, i'm sure he will be very thankful for your effort.

ya could just make a amphora bottle

[sleepingmonkey04]

i was thinking of mixing a small amount with frit and just encasing it in a tube. how do u think that would work?

[PyroChixRock]

well...it will still look like air. have any moretti around?

sleepingmonkey:

I have made necklaces with human and pet ashes for my customers in the past. As Misha said, they look crappy encased in boro. I use small "rice necklace" vials for that purpose, and they are very elegant.

There are a few styles that work well with ashes:

-Genie bottle (amphora)
-Tear drop
-Plain tube
-Heart
-Cross

Let me know if you need some, and I can hook you up with all of the parts you need to assemble them.

I don't know if you're good at small work, but what about a little sculpture(hollow) of the dog's face (maybe coilpot?) that you could leave a hole in (like a miniature dog-face shaped jar that wouldn't stand up) put some of the ashes in, and then put some kind of a finding on top like the ones Wonka posted?

i assume you mean they look shitty melted into boro, right......making a vial of some sort (boro) and melting the top shut works, doesn't it?

my friends dog died, lifelong companion, he was a black lab, so I made his dog from a picture, and put an opal in a clear ball, put that in his mouth...a ball was his favorite toy, was the best rememberance of him.

I'd put the ashes in an ampule.
