There's a million stories in the naked city and something to be framed for every one of them right? I haven't heard Rons' dead cat story. I was asked to (and did) frame a dead dog once...in powdered form, along with a watercolor portrait and pheasant feather. It turned out pretty cool. If I took any pictures I don't know where they are off hand. The ashes went in a real cool brush holder we carry that comes from Tibet. On first try I found that it was a little less than air tight leaving a little pile of pooch on the bottom of the box. Once I got that sealed up it went well. I hung it in a comartment (the container has a chain) under the portrait with the feather vertical to the side. There was suede mat involved and I think I pressed a pheasant shape or the dogs name or something, I don't remember for sure, maybe I'm remembering that part wrong. I shoulda anyway. Anyway, the customer loved it and recently brought in a portrait of their new (live) dog! Yes, I did the gilding. I've been working on learning that for some 20yr. now and think I am begining to reach a comfort zone with it. A slow learner am I. Thanks for letting me show and tell. Time to go home now.
