”Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.”

Just took these beautiful gems out of the kiln today. Nice way to stay warm in the toasty studio on these frigid nights!!

Matt was a genuine, kind hearted soul who charmed all of those that met him. His ability to effortlessly make other laugh and smile was something that came naturally to him, and slowed him to instantly connect with people from all walks of life.
We miss your playful soul and endearing presence more than words will ever be able to express. It is with both pain and gratitude that we think of you: the hole you left in our hearts is only rivaled by the depth by which you touched our souls, and the time we had with you will forever be the most cherished years of our lives. Love you & miss you always.
Beautiful black agate, white lava and glass bracelet made with his cremation ashes for a keepsake for his fiancé.

This is a little bit about our Carla. Right from the very start as a little girl she had the brightest smile, that would light up a room. Along with her infectious laugh, no matter what your mood she could always get you to laugh just by hearing her laugh. We used to tease her because when she was irritated or upset she'd raise one eyebrow, as we later came to know as the people's eyebrow.
Carla was loved by all who knew her. I don't even remember her getting into childhood f...ights, everyone was her friend. She had the kindest spirit, and gentlest soul of anyone I’ve ever known. Not to say she didn't have a temper, because she did. With the Scottish and Irish decent, I don't think that could have been avoided.
Carla had the soul of a gypsy, the heart of a hippie, and the spirit of a fairy.
She'll be forver missed by her parents, children and sisters, until we meet again, once sweet day. Sometimes I think she was just to gentle for this world. I miss you more with each passing day my Sweet Daughter. Today would have been your 44th birthday, and you'd be dancing, We know your dancing in Heaven.
❤️Love Mom, Wendy, Amanda, Holly, Selena & Justin.

Leaving Morocco today with a wee layover in Paris to fill my soul up with yummy French wine and gastronomy. Marrakech has been the most colourful and lively place far beyond description.

These beautiful Life beads and what makes this process so special to me is getting to know a little bit about the person who has passed.
As the family has said: “David (Granda) was a newspaper man all his life and it was his job to come up with witty headlines. He was always making us laugh with his humorous stories and we miss him so much. He was a fantastic grandfather and husband. Something he always said was ‘Don’t forget who loves you.’ Which has become even more meaningful since he passed away in June.”

Kobe was the child that never talked back and would never leave home! He was always watching over the Grandchildren, or could be found laying in the sunny spots on the carpet, or amongst the train tracks on the floor while the kids played around him. He loved cheese, corn on the cob, toast crust... but most of all hotdogs! He was always up for snuggles, ear rubs, watching his Mom sew & long walks with his Dad at night! He was the perfect son...
Rest In Peace Kobe, Over the rainbow bridge!

My Great Aunty Jean was such an incredible woman, she was the first female welder in Canada during the war! This blue heart pendant is for my Nana, her sister, to keep her close to her own heart now that she has passed on. She had the most amazing blue eyes and I hope this bead captures her essence. We love you Aunty Jean and we miss your beautiful smile and hilarious antics.

Sand From the Sahara! They spent the night sleeping on the dunes and completely felt at one with the universe. What a perfect way to memorialize the experience by encasing some Sahara sand and creating this beautiful mala. @kaia_life @theinspiringco #lampwork #sahara #mala #keepsake #meditation #yogaeverydamnday #camelride #desert

Time to bring my fairy garden inside. Oh Calgary, why not give us a little more nice fall weather??! At least I get to see my glass mushroom 🍄 nice and toasty inside.

This was a first for me; creating memorial beads that matched the coat of this precious little one named Honey in a Tiffany & Co ball inspired bracelet. Totally in love. Rest In Peace Honey!

Well Apollo, your Mom and Dad told me that you loved to listen to Prince and you were a super cool dude. They requested some “Purple Rain” beads with your ashes inside, which I have to say turned out pretty awesome. Rest In Peace!

And the finished product that was just popped into the mail.
