Colours
Ashes turn a bright white. You can choose one or two colours for your memorial.
Device screens do not show colours in true form, the chart is a general guide.
Please note: True red is difficult to achieve in blown glass as it has a tendency to turn a brownish hue. Instead I use pink as seen in the photos depicted,

Pendants are made in my Victoria studio; turn around time is 1-2 weeks from time ashes arrive.
The larger blown glass memorials are created in Vancouver where I blow glass. Turn around time is based on my blowing schedule as I go over once a month for a few days in a row. Between 2-6 weeks once the ashes arrive.

When the glass is removed from the blow pipe, there is a rough spot where it was joined. It can be torched on the spot giving it a flat surface to sit when displayed. It is kinda foggy and has texture and is on the base of the piece, so you may never really see it.
A high polish base is done when the piece is cold. The glass will be ground down flat and polished till it is shiny and clear. ( kinda like a french polish for woodworking) It is more work but gives the final piece a more elevated finish.
