–stretching the ceramic wings

Several months ago, a very nice gentleman from New Mexico asked Tracy if she could make a special piece for him.

Through their conversation, the story of a charming  furry friend named Griffin, emerged.  Tracy came to learn that this gentleman had gotten Griffin as an 8-week old pup form Cornish, Maine.  They had been pals for 17 and a half years.  When Griffin passed, the man knew he wanted to honor the memory of his faithful companion, but hadn’t really decided how  yet.

When talking to Tracy about tile, an idea was sparked…and he asked her if she would make an urn.  He provided many photos of his smiling  yellow-dog with the dark eyes.

It was decided.

Tracy was honored to create a final resting place for Griffin–a rustic ceramic  jar, handmade with great sincerity.
