On Facebook (yes, I’m still using it) one of the groups I’m on is called “Home For Peculiar Artists Part 2”. I have no idea what part 1 was, I never looked for it. But, part 2 is a group where people post photos of stuff they’ve made. Some of it is awe-inspiring, and some of it is just odd.
Today, one of the posts was from this artist: https://www.resininbloom.com/
She had been commissioned to make several pieces incorporating locks of hair from someone who had died, along with flowers from the funeral. I don’t see those exact pieces on her website, but they were incredibly beautiful. Not tacky or ghoulish at all, they clearly were meant to be cherished by someone who loved that person.
She must be pretty good, if she has received several commisions. Good for her.
On her website, I would be interested in one of those prism paperweights with a bloom inside, but I would want something to buffer or soften the high tip of that crystal triangle, for safety’s sake.
If I had a high shelf or mantle to display them, I would not be worried about that long sharp point of glass in my living room. It splits the sunlight into separate colors.
