The customer came to see if it would be possible to make a glass heart and place some ashes from a much loved pet dog, sadly recently deceased and cremated, in a smaller heart in the centre. There are hundreds of different ways people deal with the ashes of a loved one, but a common theme is retaining a small amount as a keepsake, and this looked like a really beautiful way of preserving them.
The heart was to hang on a wall with many other hearts, so we decided to back it with thin mirrored glass, the central heart would be cut out of the main red one, and a clear glass heart would be mounted proud, capping the central space filled with the ashes. The whole project would be copper foiled and left in a silver finish.
It is a stunning and very personal way to keep a loved ones memory close to heart.
