My Custom Memorial Jewelry Series...Post 1

I have been so excited about sitting down and writing this post!  Why?  Because I get to share with you an amazing opportunity that I encountered this week. 

On Monday I was contacted by the Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, AR to create two custom pendants for their annual Voyage fundraising gala!  I am so honored that the Circle of Life chose to approach me about the creation of these pendants and can't wait to get started! 

SO...over the next several weeks I will be hosting a blog series on designing your own custom memorial jewelry.  This is such an exciting topic for me and I hope you will enjoy reading the series just as much as I will enjoy writing it!

So what is the Hospice looking for?  Something fun, colorful and easily recognizable as theirs.  They provided me a logo (see below) and that is it.  Honestly, they (like many of the families I serve) have no clue what they want- and that is the best part!  Because they have some ideas but no specific design in mind, they are giving me the chance to really put my artistic skills to work.

So what about you?  If you were to create a custom pendant for a loved one, what ideas would draw from?  Perhaps a photo of a favorite place, a memento from a favorite sport or hobby or even just a favorite color?  Or maybe you would prefer to write a description of your loved one's personality and simply draw from the traits he or she had.  Whatever your ideas and inspirations may be, they become truly special when taken from the "raw" and transformed into something beautiful. 

Stay tuned for next weeks post!
