Each plaque is custom made with one or two photos adhered to a special background paper that the artist has hand painted to go with the colors in your photos. 

We prefer to receive a high resolution (200 or 300 dpi) copy on photo paper for your plaque. If you prefer to send us an original photo or email your photo to us we will, for an additional $12.00 for one photo or $24.00 for two photos, copy your original photo to high gloss photo paper, reduce as needed and return the original with the finished plaque.

Every single Memorial Plaque has three separate glass "nuggets", one showing the date of birth plus the date of death, the second one showing the first name of the deceased hand written with glass enamel and kiln fused between layers of glass and the third "nugget" contains a small bit of cremation ash or a lock of hair strategically placed between two layers of glass. The artist hand paints lines on the glass" nuggets" and adds paper thin shards of glass (similar to confetti) in colors that compliment the photos and background paper.

The glass pieces covering the photos are surrounded by tempered shattered glass that is adhered to the background paper with a special resin. The cremation or lock of hair Memorial Plaque is then completed with your choice of colored grout.

The plaque will have a decorative paper back and is framed with a black metal frame completely ready to hang. A small gold finished display stand is included in the event you wish to display your plaque on a desk, shelf or counter top.
