When our cats pass away, we have these paw prints made. (By Peartree Impressions) Fur clippings are sent and they match the paint to the fur, and then attach the fur in a little baggie to the back of the frame, so we have the paw print and fur clippings altogether. We also have their urns on shelves with pendants we had made around each one:
Well, I was thinking, for Cricket and Maddy, the mares I've lost, of getting this photo frame. They are made for grads and the skinny section is to put their grad cap tassel in, but I was thinking of tail hair:
The problem is, when Cricket died 15 years ago, I didn't think to keep any tail hair, because 1) I was in complete shock when she died, and 2) I didn't know people made horsehair bracelets. I have quite a lot of Maddy's tail hair, so not worried about her. But I'm not sure what to do with Cricket. At one point she had pulled some tail hair out by getting it stuck in a cracked board and I had made myself a bracelet, but there wasn't a lot of hair in it - not enough to make a fancy braid. I did have enough to have a ring made, but now have very little left over. So I don't know if I should just put the 20 or so 4 inch strands in the frame, get a thick ribbon and attach the hairs to that so there's more to look at, borrow some hairs from Lucy to add thickness, but then it's not really Cricket, or ??? Any ideas?
Here's the rings I had made. Cricket is the black hair, and Maddy is the white. But I wanted something that involved their pictures as well:
And because I like My Little Ponies, I had these made for me! From left to right, Cricket, Maddy & Lucy!
