Memorial Stone

July 30th, 2011 by Ron Branch

Onsite sandblasting setupI’ve done several memorial stones lately. This one turned out particularly well, with the earthy tone of the stone, and the nice natural shape.

Friday’s Post

March 17th, 2010 by Ron Branch

pet stone grave marker by Glasstone Studio in Vancouver WaThis time it’s one for us. A bit belated – it felt better to avoid it for a while. We left this one unpainted – definitely a subtler look. (click to enlarge)

It’s true, our cat “Friday” WAS old, but it didn’t really seem like it – just last year I looked out the window and was shocked to see him fearlessly beating on a big raccoon that was eating out of his bowl. Probably embarrassing for Friday that the raccoon didn’t seem to notice much and just continued eating.

Micky has a nice Friday post on her blog. Good photo too. Here is a link.

Pet Memorial

February 5th, 2010 by Ron Branch

pet memorial stoneI got a chance to do something in stone today. This was the fourth pet grave marker I’ve done in about a month.

I like working with stone so much that I think I will actively market this particular product as best I can to the Vancouver area. I’m not yet sure what the best way to do this would be. Probably brochures in pet stores or a small add in the paper? I like that it helps someone who is in pain. The marker is a physical and symbolic statement; it says, “you were important to me, and I’m never going to forget you”.
