Although these may look like any other fused glass ornaments, they are actually pet memorials! If you look closely, you will see a soft grey dust sprinkled down the center of the ornament. That's no ordinary dust; it's the ashes of one of my beloved golden retrievers! I'd be honored to make a similar piece for you, using your own pet's ashes. (Please visit the Stardust Collection page if you'd like to read the story behind the creation of these pieces.)
In creating this ornament, your chosen colors of crushed glass are placed in a mold. Your pet’s ashes are respectfully added and covered with clear glass. Then the entire piece is carefully loaded into the kiln, where all those individual bits of glass and ash are melted and fused into one lovely ornament. I use transparent glass, so that light will shine through the beautiful colors, whether you hang it on a lighted tree or in a window.
