Houd Forever with Me ~ Cremation Ash Memorial Glass Dread Bead

I am ready to share the sweetest piece of ash (a Houd-ism) I will ever wear in my hair.  My friend Houd (click here to read more about him) took his own life last year.  I obtained a very small amount of his cremated ashes and commissioned a talented glass-blowing friend to make me a cremation ash memorial dread bead.  The ashes are incorporated into the glass, forever encapsulating them.  I am thoroughly pleased with her work, I can't thank her enough.  Stunning. 

If you would like to commission my friend Jen to create a custom cremation ash glass bead, you may contact her through her Etsy shop PACIFICNWGLASS (click here to visit her shop)
