For my birthday I decided to have a custom glass pendant of my dogs made. There is an awesome seller on etsy.com that can take your photo (or photos), turn it into a one-color drawing and then it is fused between 2 pieces of glass when she fires it in the kiln. The ink is iron-based so depending on what color of glass you chose- that can affect the color of the outlines. It is kinda hard to explain as I am not sure EXACTLY how she does the image transfer from computer to glass (I did not ask). But it is completely amazing, in my opinion.
I had some photos of my dogs taken at an Australian Shepherd rescue event that we went to…and I loved the professional quality images. I paid $38 to have a custom image of my dogs done….but now that it is “designed” I can get it re-fired in any available color for $18 and it is for sale in her etsy.com store to the public for $18. (She owns the final image).
So I thought I would tell everyone here at BinkyBunny about this awesome seller (I do not know her personally…only thru my purchase). I am thinking about doing a bunny pendant also, she does not have one available thru her store that was previously designed so it would have to be another custom order. But the awesome thing is that she sends you the final image to be approved before firing, so you know you are getting exactly what you want.
But check it out…she has more images in her store than just my 2 dogs. I asked if she had a bunny pendant and she has not done one yet, but she easily can. (These pendants are awesome even if you do not buy a custom one…I am sure other Aussie owners will buy the pendant with my dogs image).
