I have to say that I am very blessed to have incredible treasures to honor my little Oscar. From custom paintings, 3D printed sculptures, custom collars, canvas photo prints, monogrammed doggie clothes and more.
Brenda Scott from Animal Heart Pendants contact me a few weeks about making a pendant using one of my favorite photos of Oscar. It's adorable! I asked Brenda to send me some information on her business to share with my readers. Looks for the giveaway at the bottom and the special code to get 25% OFF your order!
Here is her story:
I originally started with altered art jewelry created from my original artwork . I paint in acrylics, watercolor and ink and wash. My two top sellers are the Killer Whale (ink and wash) and the Black Lab (acrylic). I started using photographs when I found that I did not have the time to create all the animals that I wanted to represent in my shop. I love all creatures and find each animal, bird, insect and reptile to be gorgeous in its own unique way. I couldn't just have a few animals – I wanted them all. Currently I have over 200 different creatures represented but my goal is to have over 1,000.
I have made custom pendants featuring dogs, cats, horses, cows and bearded dragons. Some have been memorial pieces of a departed pet and others have been gifts for farmers and ranchers of specific cow breeds. I also had requests for specific animal breeds like the Boer Goat because they remind the customer of childhood memories. Customer satisfaction is my top priority when creating custom jewelry. I will work with the customer at every step of the process to ensure a lasting keepsake.
In the future, I plan to have the top 100 dog breeds as recognized by the American Kennel Club. I also plan to have a series of Endangered Animals with a portion of the proceeds to go to the World Wildlife Fund's efforts to save those animals.
To help give back, I donate necklaces to animal rescue groups for use in their fundraising efforts. We are lucky in Canada to have no-kill shelters but in United States there are so many throw-away pets. I welcome the opportunity to help raise money to save as many animals as possible. I also offer special discounts to members of verified animal rescue groups as well as wholesale rates when purchasing 10 or more items.

I would love to get my Canlea on a pendant. She left to doggy heaven a week ago, and although I know she is better off, I will miss her dearly here on earth.

I would love to have my Angel Bobo on a pendant!
How beautful! The mom says she would have to toss a coin to decide which of us would go on the pendant. 🙂
Love it! I’d place a picture of my dog in mine.
I’d put a picture of my cat, Poppy, on a pendant.
I would put my goldendoodle named Miles in the pendant. I love him dearly.
If I were to win this pendant,I would put a picture of my cat,”Thomas” in it. He was a beautiful white and orange Tabby with a heart of gold, (unless, of course, you happen to be a mouse, lol) and began every day, rubbing against my face and purring… LOUDLY. He slept on my chest… EVERY NIGHT… until a storm we had, this winter took him. He did not make it home. :'( I miss him. This would be a lovely way to remember him. 🙂
Its hard to choose which one, but I’d probably pick our youngest pup and give to to my mom.
Definitely a picture of my cat
I would love to win this for my daughter.She has had numerous autoimmune and cardiac disorders since she was five years old. She is small for her age and had to spend a lot of time alone when she was ill. Her shihtzu mix Pika has kept her company and become her best friend. We have three dogs and two cats. They are all our babies, but Pika is my daughter’s special baby. She was rescued on my daughters tenth birthday and they have been together every day since. Pika is now 15 years old and has lost most of her vision, but my daughter Angela still snuggles with her every day and sleeps with her at night.I hope Pika is with us a long time, but this would be a great way to honor a special friend.
I would put a picture of a Boston Terrier in my pendant!

I would put a picture of my kitty who passed away last year.
I would put a picture of my chick. His name was Marty, he looked like Marty from Madagascar, with his stripes. I miss him, he would follow me everywhere. He was really cute. ^.^
I would love one of my dog that passed away.
