You may remember that I lost my Meffi a little over a year ago. I still miss her so much. To bring the lovebirds, Merlin and Meffi, back together, I commissioned Dawn to make a necklace for me, just like she did for Merlin back then. I have been working on a blog post, but it's not finished yet, so instead I'll show you the pendant now. You know how Dawn likes to have a little surprise on the back, but that will stay her and my secret, just like when I showed you Merlin's pendant years ago. The pendant is on a leather cord with Dawn's painted beads which don't show in this picture. Dawn, thanks again and again.  |

Cat, I'm so happy that you are pleased with the final results. Doing commissioned work is rewarding, but there's always worry that the client won't like the finished piece and such a feeling of relief when they do. Hope the two lovebirds are happy together! Looking forward to seeing the blog post.  Dawn |

Looking forward to seeing the blog post. Dawn Dawn, I hope I didn't put too much pressure on you. The blog post might take a while and I'll have to be careful it doesn't turn into half a novel! |

No, not at all, Cat. It's just that when it's a subject that's really important to the person who has commissioned the work, it's really important to me to get it right and as close as possible to what they have in mind. No worries about length - love novels! Dawn |

What a beautiful keepsake. Dawn captured Meffi's sweetness in this gorgeous portrait.
I hope Meffi and Merlin are together again.

What a lovely way to remember your fur babies Cat.
@ Dawn, what a sweet gesture to make memorial jewelry.

What a beautiful keepsake. Dawn captured Meffi's sweetness in this gorgeous portrait. I hope Meffi and Merlin are together again. Michele, I am so sure they are. I have very specific images of animal heaven that might be inspired by the animated movie "Watership Down" |

Cat, years ago after Keiko (female Akita) died, a Baptist minister I know, asked me if I thought pets went to heaven. I told him it wouldn't be heaven if they didn't. He didn't know what to say.
