Update from Jen:
Today is a day for PEACE. I had an Ocean Beach Spirit Cleansing Ceremony for Houd (short for Houdini) The blue silk material contains the ashes of his dear soul. The saltwater symbolizes the purity of the being, feathers symbolize flying free and returning as the soul he wishes to be, the shells to symbolize the leaving of one body to find the next, and the driftwood a symbol of moving from one place to another. The sand is the medium that glass is made from and that the ash will become a living part of.
Glass is a material that is a unique one. It's both a solid and a liquid at the same time. Even in it's hard (bead) state, the molecules are always slowly in motion. Which takes the inert ashes back into a moving state, which I feel keeps the souls happy and knowing they are cared for instead of left alone for eternity.

Excited for the next step! I love seeing an artist at work and one that cares so deeply for our loved ones. Jen truly is a unique person with beautiful handcrafted glass.
