From gravesites to childhood homes, parks, lakes, and rivers... Have you ever been to a place that really captured your heart? Maybe it was the beaches of Hawaii, or the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Here at Sands of time, we want to memorialize and commemorate your life experiences. Whether it's campfire ashes from a memorable weekend with friends, or a bit of soil from a peaceful hike in the mountains; now you can keep a piece of that special memory with you, forever. Any of the items in our web-store can be made using just a single teaspoonful of sand, soil, or campfire ashes. After the organic elements are encased inside the glass, they're incinerated leaving behind tiny bubbles throughout the artwork. The unique micro bubbles formed inside the glass are a direct result of the carbon dioxide levels in the soil or other organic material.
