California-based artist Merry Coor has been making glass beads since 2000, but everything changed last year when a young couple asked her if she could incorporate some of the ashes from a dear friend lost too soon into a bead as a keepsake.
“My bead making now gave me a new purpose, and a way to honor others, both living and passed,” writes Coor on her Etsy. “It was 80 degrees in my studio that day, but I had the chills the entire time I was making the beads.”
Coor makes each of these memorial Ash Beads by hand, one at a time in her own studio in Eureka, California.
