Nice Tutorial De. Thank you for being brave enough to give instructions! It is nice to be able to use our talent to create such meaningful objects.
I have been creating memory beads for several years now. It is tough to make them when you know, or even when you don't know, the person.
People like to have something tangible to touch when they lose a loved one.
One request was for 13 beads for a daughter who was violently killed. They were to be given to all the family members. There were a couple of beads that did not lay right, so those were just given to the Mother.
Making those beads was harder than I expected. The Mother was so happy with them, it made up for all the tears I shed when making them.
Here is a picture of the bead I made for my cousin, with my grandfather's ashes. I didn't take a picture of the one I made for my grandmother. Her heart was made with greens.
