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.

Personalised Mobile
As well as having a small amount of encapsulated fur, each of the hanging stars from the mobile were further personalised with messages. I included a small amount of glitter to make the stars twinkle and added simple messages such as Tess, The Brightest Star and a paw print. The hanging charms from the mobile could be further personalised with the addition of photographs, colours and other sentimental objects.

Lynda's reaction after receiving her mobile
My special girl came home today. Not in a box or an urn but in the stars, how she should. My girl Tess deserved something very special, I was broken hearted when she left me, but remembered to cut off some of her soft fur for my friend Mick to make something to remember her by, I told him she was now the brightest star in the sky - Shpangle jewellery achieved that for me. I did not cry when my Shpangle star's came home today, each one with a part of Tess in them.. but I smiled because she was home. Thank you so much Mick. Lynda - Southport.
This was my first attempt at making a hanging mobile and I am thankful that it brought a smile to Lynda's face.
