Something new.....

I've just been working on a new project and feel very priviledged to have been asked to do so. Some friends had commissioned the making of two pendants to be designed around holding a very small amount of human ashes for two young girls who tragically lost their mum last year. And this is what I have created...


A sealed fine silver box textured with a piece of leather at the clay stage and fired with a small hole in the centre of the top face to insert the ashes. This box is left at the brushed stage to create a matt finish with a contrasting polished heart to seal the hole and contain the ashes. I attached a bale style loop to the top of the box at the clay stage so a chain can be applied and the box worn as a pendant. I will be able to add this type of product to the 'In Memory' section of my web site and provide another product to help ease the pain and bring comfort to those that have lost a loved one.
