Just wanted to share something that I've been working on <3
I got this idea when someone commented on one of my other posts, suggesting I make animal totem pendants. Being a huge animal lover, I thought this was a wonderful idea, so I got to work looking for ways I could make authentic animal totem pendants (which I am super excited about, by the way!).
While experimenting with ideas, I came up with this one.

My Pomeranian passed away last December, and I have been trying to figure out a way to incorporate his hair and/or ashes into a bottle-styled necklace since then. I got the idea of creating one of my goddess pendants to be hugging the little bottle of hair, as it symbolizes the closeness and love that people have with their pets, even after their passing. I used citrine stones in the branches to symbolize his November birthstone.
While the bottle is large, I think anything smaller than that wouldn't be enough (plus, I could not find anything smaller! Lol). I thought about adding ashes, but figured it would probably cloud up the hair and so I decided not to try it because I didn't want to wreck it.
I'll probably use this as more of an ornament than a pendant - it looks very lovely sitting next to his little urn and picture that I have sitting on my computer desk <3
Anyways, if people end up liking this design, I would be happy to offer it as a made-to-order =] I will also have those animal-totem pendants available to show you all soon as well!
