Bringing someone's unique vision of their pet's me

Bringing someone's unique vision of their pet's memorial to life is one of the things I love most about my work (even if I might spend a bit too much time anxiously overthinking the details).

This kitty, Wanda, had a sweet little white spot on her forehead, commemorated on her painted skull, and preserved along with her ears in a hat for her skull to wear. Her tanned pelt is lined with the fabric from her favorite bed, and a little secret is stashed inside - her favorite sock (which once belonged to her human).

I also returned her tanned tail, ink paw prints, and the water cremated remains of her body. I truly enjoyed working with you Wanda, and I'm glad to see you home. 💜🧦🐾

This preserved and articulated skeleton is part of a memorial created to honor the beloved L.O. 💜 🐾

I started quietly offering articulations not that long ago to families that expressed interest, but hadn't really made it "official." I find that I enjoy getting to spend so much time with the bones, acknowledging each one and helping it find its way home. So I suppose it's official now. 😊🦴

A very special and challenging memorial for Luci,

A very special and challenging memorial for Luci, a beloved bearded dragon. I cast a full reproduction of him in translucent, glittery, ✨glow-in-the-dark✨ resin, and his body now safely rests in a bath of preservation fluid.

I've done a fair bit of molding and casting, but this little friend being covered in tiny spikes definitely put my abilities to the test. It was a great learning experience, and I'm so grateful to his guardian for trusting me with this incredibly unique and fun memorial. I will think of Luci every time I find a random bit of glitter in the workshop, which will probably be pretty often! 😉

This heavenly cloud of floof belongs to (very appropriately named) Snowball, a well loved Great Pyrenees whose family had us preserve his entire pelt after he passed. My wife briefly mistook him for a polar bear while I was grooming, which was not unreasonable! Working with this large of a pelt is definitely a labor of love but seeing it finished and back with his family is well worth it.
