These pens have a very luxurious fell. Nice, heavy, well balanced,& writes beautifully. A perfect memorial gift for MEN or women. I'm so happy to finally have found a great option for a cremation piece for a MAN. The listed price is for one high quality custom made writing pen. I will make a handmade Glass bead for the pen in whatever color or combination of colors you chose. The pen base comes in many colors. if you have another color in mind, contact me and I will inquire about other color options. Each Pen comes in a lovely protective black velvet box. I hope my work will assist in your grieving process by helping you feel closer to the love one you have lost. °º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º *****IMPORTANT information about changes in the USPS shipping laws. As of January 2014 all packages containing Cremated Remains MUST be properly labeled with a USPS cremated remains sticker and shipped via Priority Express Mail (your kit will include an addressed Priority Express padded flat rate envelope with the stickers already attached) please add signature confirmation. Because of these changes my Shipping fee has been increased. As will your cost to ship your kit back to me. Your cost for shipping the kit to me will be approx. $25 above the $25 shipping charged when you make a purchase from my shop. I wish there was a less expensive way, but out of respect I feel it is important to follow proper shipping protocol. As soon as we come to an agreement about exactly what you want made, and make a purchase, I will send you a kit with everything you will need to safely & legally ship a very small amount (about 1 tsp.) of your loved ones ashes to me. In the kit you will receive: instructions, as well as an addressed padded USPS Priority Express Mail envelope, with USPS cremated remains stickers, a small labeled plastic jar, in a zip-lock type baggie, and a small scoop spoon for the cremains. You will also need to think about whether you want the ashes to be visible, under transparent glass, or hidden from view inside the bead under opaque glass. What type of shape, pattern, color scheme, and style you want, as well as the approximate size of the bead/beads you would like. Once I receive the cremains I will make the beads individually, by melting glass with a torch, and winding it onto a mandrel. During he melting and forming of the bead I incorporate the cremains into the hot glass. the cremains become part of the glass. If you've never seen Lampworking in person, you might want to look at one of the many YouTube videos available. Like this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOravnFCEg Below are photos of me making beads at the torch. The process will take me anywhere form 4-9 weeks. Usually somewhere in between. But if you have a specific date I can try to accommodate you, although I can't always promise. Any remaining cremains & extra beads (if any) will be returned to you along with your finished piece. I hope that answers your questions satisfactorily. If you are interested in having custom/personalized jewelry made for you using the cremains beads please message me. Again Thank you so much for messaging me. If you feel more comfortable talking live, let me know. We can schedule a phone conversation. Warm Regards, Anna Keene¸¸.•*¨)¸.•*¨) (¸.´¸.• (¸.•´¸¸.•¨¯`•.¸¸.

It is very important to me that my work be as much a product of my own hands as possible. I really do want to eventually know how to do everything. I strive on a daily basis to continue to learn new techniques and refine my craft. Custom work is a wonderful way to stretch the limits of my imagination and push me toward greater knowledge and skill.
My favorite thing about creating custom work is the opportunity it gives every individual a chance to use their creativity and help to bring to the world something truly unique. I believe we all have the spark of creation in us. It's a wonderful thing to find a way to bring those ideas to life.
I very much appreciate the opportunity to help YOU create your dream.

For Personalized Memorial U-Turn Quote Copper Bangle BraceletAnna has been amazing. I liked her design. She was willing to customize it for me. Special ordered material to get me the exact finish we wanted. Her communication was awesome. She let me know in advance when she could get to our project and completed it when she said it would be done. Her pricing was beyond fair. For all the work she did I would say a bargain because she is that good. I will be ordering more items from her because she is a talented artist, is honest, fair, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Anna we are thrilled we found you!!

For Custom Beads/Tie TacksJust opened the box and they are gorgeous! Anna was able to create exactly what I visioned for tie tacks and Pandora type beads to commemorate my Mom. I am sure the rest of the family will be as happy as I am with them. Anna was a pleasure to work with and when I spoke with her, I felt like we were old friends catching up. Project was done quicker than expected and sent in a beautiful package. Thanks Anna!

The bracelet has a unique look, it's stunning - handmade imperfections, made perfect is the best way to describe it. The delivery was on time as promised, a week early actually...

For "Ride The Wave" Sterling Silver Spiral RingI have just received my beautiful sterling silver spiral ring from Anne. It is gorgeous. She is so talented. I slipped it on the middle finger of my left hand and have no intention of taking it off! It perfectly matches a silver spiral pendant I had made many years ago. Then I saw this ring on Freckle Patch Design and I knew we were meant to be together. I don't wear a lot of jewelry, and when I do, it usually means something to me personally, so I am not writing a five star review lightly. Thank you Anne, for this lovely piece of wearable art work. I am grateful you decided to make a living as an artist. The only time I will remove my ring is when I am massaging (I am a massage therapist!). Nameste

For Jorge's NecklaceAnna was an outstanding artist to work with. She took my basic design requirements and developed them into a final project that exceeded my expectations. She never wavered from my original idea, but greatly enhanced it with her own creativity. Her willingness to work with me to accommodate my budget by adjusting the materials used highly impressed me. I felt that I was included in every step of the process from the creation of the initial design drawings to the final setting of the piece. Despite my many questions, Anna never made me feel as if I were a bother, and she encouraged me to offer as many suggestions as possible so she could create the final piece as closely as possible to what I desired. I had a very flexible deadline, and I felt that she took additional care and thought when creating the necklace for my husband. During the entire design experience, Anna was prompt in addressing my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Anna and Freckle Patch Design, particularly if you are looking for a truly unique gift for someone. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
