Carnations are known to symbolize love​,​ divine motherhood​,​ and fascination. Pink carnations are specifically recognized as symbolizing gratitude. Embrace the gratitude of time spent with your beloved pet​,​ and encapsulate their ashes within the permanence of paint. Each painting is hand painted by me to order​,​ using the ashes of your pet. I start by tracing the outline of your chosen flower onto the 9” by 12” canvas paper​,​ and begin by mixing a small amount of your furry companion's ashes with each color of paint. Your pet's ashes will be present in every aspect of the painting​,​ although not visible. The painting is then finished with a protective varnish​,​ to seal the ashes and the painting. Every painting will be slightly different​,​ with variations in color and texture. The price of each painting includes a prepaid ashes collection kit​,​ which will be sent to your address soon after your order is placed. The kit includes a small tin and a prepaid envelope to send the ashes back to my studio. If you have any questions​,​ please send me a message here on LoveCoda!
