Fused Glass Memorial Jewelry Using Cremains

A friend asked me if I could incorporate her mom’s ashes into a small pendant using neutral colors so she could wear it with most anything. This was a first for me, but I read lots of tips and made several prototypes without ashes first. Our friend is delighted with her very personalized memorial piece. And I learned something new — I was honored she allowed me the opportunity.
