[MR] re: question about jewelry

[Tracie Ellis]

Hrm, without much thought (as I sit here reading/glancing at emails this 
afternoon) - the only thing that springs to mind on this subject is to 
'cast' the departed creature in resin, set the cast resin in a bezel 
that is prepared as a brooch/pin...if that makes sense.  Never having 
done this type of work, nor knowing the process by which one sets 
something into clear resin (I remember a piece my older brother used to 
have of a small scorpion; it just wasn't a pin, it was a paperweight); I 
cannot speculate on cost.

I hope this rambling helps some, it sounds like an intriquing project, 
and I wish the artist the best of luck (and the owner as well!)
