When first stumbling onto this website, I was a bit taken back by the uniqueness of this product. But being a long time glass art lover, and seeing these beautiful pendants made with ashes of a loved one (or pet), I began to think this was something special. Take a look at these brilliant creations and see what you think:

Glass artist Mark Hamilton will create a one-of-a-kind custom art glass memorial pendant with your loved one’s ashes.

Glass Cremation Jewelry: Every time you put your pendant on, see it in the mirror, or receive a compliment on it you’ll be reminded of your loved one’s continuing presence with you.

Glass Cremation Pendants: A cremation pendant is the perfect way to keep the ashes of a loved one close to your heart.

Pet Cremation Jewelry: Rather than gathering dust on a shelf, your pet’s ashes are melted into hot glass and transformed into a beautiful piece of art.

Why “Psyche” Cremation Jewelry?

The Greek word for the soul is Psyche (pronounced “Sigh-key”). In ancient Greece, the soul was personified as a butterfly and the word Psyche can be literally interpreted as “spirit, breath, life or animating force”. The Psyche is the element within a living being that gives them life and personality and continues “to breathe” even after leaving the body.

About the artist:

Mark Hamilton is professional lampwork glass artist. For the last 14+ years he’s specialized in creating lampwork glass jewelry out of strong borosilicate glass. After experiencing the loss of 2 close friends and his big tom cat Leo, he decided to put his skills to use in the service of others who’d lost people and pets close to them. He still creates many different types of hand blown glass jewelry, but cremation jewelry is the most rewarding glass work he says he’s done. Mark is honored to be able to make beautiful creations out of hot glass that help people hold the memory of their loved ones close to their hearts.

“I take my part in this seriously and am always conscious in treating both my customers and the ashes of their loved ones with care and respect.”

If you are interested in having ashes preserved in a piece of glass art, please feel free to contact psychecremationjewelry.com with any questions you might have about the process.

What has been known as a traditionally masculine-fueled interest, now more than ever women are growing in population in online multiplayer game rooms.

While it is true that women hold the title for playing online bingo and VIP Slots, there has been a concerted effort via marketing campaigns to attract women to play what is considered to be more male-oriented online casino games.

95% of men play poker online as compared to 20% of women players. Why such a wide disparity? It’s always been cool to watch a female poker player play with the big boys and win, since it’s usually such an exception. Through ethnographic data, the themes of social interaction, mastery and status, team participation, and exploration, one can consider what compels female and male gamers to engage in online gaming.

Rather than seeing this group of (fabulous) players as an anomaly, we could start to understand how focusing on the pleasures women derive from gaming might lend a more complex understanding of both gender and computer games.

Take for example, a popular U.K. online gaming site cheekybingo.com. You can see from their design and content that it is probably female focused. Having a fun design coupled with a great game makes it more compelling for women to play online. Check it out and see if you’d participate.

Finally, a consideration of how design is affecting this emerging genre should be explored. Let’s face it. Women like pretty things. There’s a reason why the popular social media site Pinterest has women coming in droves: pretty pictures, lots of pretty pictures. To be fair, men like well-designed websites and games as well. But a lot of men wouldn’t care either as much. So, web and game developers should take a cue from gender studies. It might very well pay off!

Sometimes when shopping, I find an item that I know will get comments. Sometimes, it’s a great maxi dress, and other times, it’s a unique accessory. So, when I stumbled upon these hand painted silk scarves by NY artist Joan Reese, I immediately had to have one. The colors that she uses are vibrant and happy. The things about scarves that I love is that there’s multiple ways to tie and wear them. So wherever you are headed, incorporating a beautiful spring scarf will surely top off any outfit.

Since my style tends to all things bohemian luxe, check out this great piece from her line:

• Long enough to wear as a neck scarf, belt, sash and head wrap.

• Silk scarves can be washed in cool water and shampoo. Cool iron while damp.
• Approximately 11″x60″

Van Mildert is synonymous in the North of England with fashion, innovative product and lifestyle. Catering for both men and women, their stores offer fashion across many platforms to the style and image conscious. They have made it their goal since 1996 to encapsulate all that is new and exciting within the fashion industry and showcase this product under one roof alongside some of the strongest and most relevant collections in the world. All stores offer a wide variety of collections to suit our broad clientele and are spilt across sections catering for young fashion, branded fashion, concept design, and premium sportswear.

They have many great brands in their stores – with Stone Island being one of them. Stone Island is a classic Italian sportswear label founded by Massimo Osti. Established in 1981, the success of the brand is largely due to their research and innovation both in the construction and details of the finished garments and in exclusive materials developed through a tight co-operation with specific fabric producers. Taking inspiration from military uniforms and workwear, garments are highly technical making extensive use of experimental dyeing and printing techniques.

Van Mildert was established in 1996 as a men’s and women’s fashion boutique in picturesque Durham City. Retailing from an old 17th century Gaol, the Grade 1 listed building on Elvet Bridge leads to the cathedral in the heart of the city. The store certainly has character and “Bob” the “tour guide” even used to bring the city’s many daily visitors to marvel at the store, shocked by the retail space they had created. Van Mildert was certainly new and exciting, retailing in a space with so much character and history. This lifestyle store was one of the first really directional independents. Back then Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Comme Des Garçon, Helmut Lang and Costume National were only available inside of London, but now the North East had its own fashion lifestyle store – a haven for the fashionista. Books from Atlas littered the old shelves, home accessories from Atomic brightened up the display cases, and furniture from SCP was used daily by customers shopping to the latest sounds on Rough Trade. Local artists exhibited their work in store and sculpture installations from art students and the region’s designers all had a price tag, adding to the lifestyle concept. Customers from as far as London would spend an afternoon in the store with some of the most experienced and passionate staff who still feature in the industry today.

Over the last 15 years the North East has seen some of the strongest and most visionary fashion retailers in the U.K. The area is well known for its product led customer and is often compared to Manchester in their forward thinking mentality. Innovative, conceptual, cool, but overall fashionable and aspiring to wear the best clothing available. These ideals and core values are what still drive them today.

Replace that moth-ball smell and keep your clothes bug free - Chase away bed bugs, moths, ticks, and mites without the use of chemicals!

Kalb & Co is a small company based out of Seattle, WA. Their goal is to make your home, clothes, and car smell great, while also helping you rid your life of little pests…. without the use of heavy, potentially dangerous chemicals.

Until recently, their products were manufactured in China. But, like you, they felt that they should do their small part to bring jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S. Everything, including the lavender, fabric, packaging and manufacturing is now 100% USA made.

I LOVE this idea for many reasons: First off, lavender has TONS of uses – Lavender oil, which has long been used in the production of perfume, can also be used in aromatherapy. The scent has a calming effect which helps aid in relaxation and the reduction of anxiety and stress. So, not only does the Kalb & Co LavenHangers work for keeping away bed bugs, moths, ticks, and mites without the use of harsh chemicals, it smells amazing at the same time! The other reason why I’m liking their lavender products is because the labels say, “MADE IN THE USA.” Bringing back manufacturing and jobs to the U.S. is something near and dear to us as well.
