Custom made paperweight containing a prosthetic eye!

A lady named Pam contacted me recently and gave me a very unusual request for a bespoke paperweight to be custom-made. Pam wanted me to encase a prosthetic eye within a custom-made resin paperweight, with a message inside saying, ‘Keeping an eye on you.’

Bespoke paperweight containing a fishing fly

You may remember last year when I highlighted a paperweight that I made for Brenda from Ayrshire in Scotland containing fishing flies. The custom paperweight for fishing flies I made for Brenda at the time was square in shape and containing two flies and additional text.

Custom Made Hanging Mobiles and Personalised Mobiles

I was asked earlier this year to make something for my friend Lynda who had sadly lost her pet dog Tess late last year. She asked me to make something using her fur that she could have to remember her by and gave me a clue that Tess is now the brightest of stars. I decided to make a custom made hanging mobile; the mobile consisted of handmade resin stars each containing a small amount of fur and hung from a wooden frame.

I am often asked whether I can make ornaments and other items other than memorial jewellery for holding cremated ashes or a lock of hair from a loved one or pet. So, I thought I would put assorted options here so that I am able to refer people to them when they contact me. I will also be adding to this page as and when new products are released.

Lock of Baby Hair Preserved as a Keepsake

Do you remember the first hair cut your child had as a baby or toddler? The excitement but also the sadness of cutting off those first precious locks of hair. Most of us who have children will remember that time and no doubt a lot of us kept a lock of that first precious hair too.

This is the first baby hair keepsake that I made, containing a lock of hair from my child’s first haircut and it is kept within his baby box.

Resin Jewellery Making - How to Prepare Inclusions

Resin jewellery making provides you the ability to encapsulate objects and suspend them in the resin; producing jewellery items that incorporate materials that may not otherwise be used in jewellery making. Many items may be embedded within resin jewellery including insects, plants, pictures, and fabric.
