Its never easy to loose a family member and missing someone can be one of the hardest parts. As an artist I learned early on that a fair majority of my commissioned works were going to include those past. And even though its not what I would have predicted, it has been beyond rewarding and an honor. This has taught me also that my work can serve others in more than just one way.
So, I've taken a few days off from hiking to create some holiday gifts that I'm hoping will mean a little more. I've been creating Christmas bulbs with images of peoples pets who have passed. Too much? Would you want one?
I have a website which I'm considering opening up for national orders next year if there is any interest. Here are some that I have created these past few days.
To see videos of me creating these bulbs you can follow my Instagram at: 
I appreciate any and all feed back. Thank you for your time and attention, Happy Holidays!
