i guess i’m thinking either i’ll keep it, sew it onto something bigger later, give it to my future children or i could make myself a necklace, a smaller one, with the same beads 🤔

muting this for now, i’ve got a lot to think about, will circle back later. really appreciate all the suggestions, it means the world to me. my grandma would be so excited seeing all the love shared here. thank you everyone for the support! 💓🫶🏼🥺

@thevelvetbone What do you think would mean more to you ten years from now? Knowing she has it, or knowing you have it? It’s absolutely beautiful.

@janicesghost thank you sm. 🫶🏼🥺 that’s a good point. i’m gunna think on that

@thevelvetbone What would she want?

@MamaPluto hmmm. i’m really not sure actually. maybe she’d want me to be able to give it to her grandkids if i ever have them one day

@thevelvetbone Either way I'm sure she's proud of you, it's so pretty

@yyyetii thank you sm 🥺🫶🏼

@thevelvetbone @beardpandaa Bury it with her and make a second one to keep and know that you will always be connected through it.

@c0mput3r_V1ru5 @beardpandaa appreciate the suggestion, i couldn’t make one exactly like it but maybe i could make one similar 🤔

@thevelvetbone Do you have one that is in any way paired with it? Maybe similar colors or design? Keeping one and giving her the other? To tay connected? Just an idea I'm sure whatever you choose will bring comfort 💖

@StarTrekHeathen i do not 💔 i do still have all the beads though!

@thevelvetbone you could keep it and use it in a shadow box or some other type of memorial

@gobbiehehe that’s a smart idea 🥹

@thevelvetbone Gorgeous, and very sorry for your loss. I made a patchwork thing that was buried with my grandma. I have no regrets about that but totally up to u.

@p_homemaker thank you so much i appreciate your kindness. i’m sorry for your loss too. grandmas are such a treasure. it’s good to know you don’t regret it— i’ll keep that in mind.

@thevelvetbone It's beautiful!! Youre so so talented!🤍 i truly dont think theres a wrong answer here and agree with so the others that its really whatever your heart would be at peace with, or if theres a way you can leave apart of it with her and carry the other but ik thats one of a kind🤍

@earthyangel67 🫶🏼🫶🏼 thank you sm for your thoughts & encouragement

@thevelvetbone That's a tough call...was she able to see it before she passed?

@_moon_mint_ well when i started she could still talk and was asking me about my art 🥹 but by the time I had finished, she had declined alot. i wasn’t sure if she understood what i was showing her. 😢
