A bridge between the hands and the heart…

After developing the bunny urn I have been urged to create pendant urns for cats and dogs too. It was hard at first to maintain that same feel in the design that I think made the bunny successful. I wanted the forms to be simple and not to get too busy trying to make any kind of breed distinction. Then I came to a feeling that when our furries are babies, they have not yet developed those differneces that also come with age and illness.  So here we are, a cute little kitten made of Silver Metal Clay.  

Kitty Memorial Pendant Urn

I love the little Roman nose and chubby cheeks. This pendant is sizable, 2 inches long by 1 1/4 inches tall. Being hollow with only a bit of ash inside it remains light and is comfortable to wear. I never take off the little rabbit I made with my Trinket’s ashes.

I’ve settled on the idea that the customer will send me a small amount of their pet’s cremation ash or a small wad of fur. Then I can themake the pendant sealed permanetly with the ashes inside in the kiln and forgoing any danger of a clasp that doesn’t hold. A few years back I aquired a small prayer bead which I put the ashes of two of rabbits in and sadly now they are all over the inside of my car   I guess I should have glued the opening but that just didn’t feel right on a sterling silver item.

I am offering these Kitten Pendant Urns on my Etsy site. I hope that by exploring my own emotional loss and creating something that brought me comfort and closure, I can help someone else have that same comfort.
