Ash made with hair to form galaxy swirl hearts.😄❤️
When you can’t start with traditional cremated remains, there are other ways to create decorative ash for memorial work. For this order, I was given hair to turn to ash for use in 9 heart shaped memorial pendants. To do this, I first vaporize the hair to ash by putting it in a small piece of copper pipe, and then heating it red hot with a blowtorch for 2-3 minutes. Once the pipe has cooled, I gather out all the ash into a container and screen in. To enhance the look of this type of ash and give it better detail, I add a pinch of powdery refractory sand and mix it in as well.😉👍
Really happy with the way these turned out- and delivered local to a client here in York PA.
