I have found one of the coolest things ever! Custom Mosaic Pet Portraits in Stepping Stones!
Karen White, of Whidbey Island, Washington, is a fantastic artist who owns K-Dub Designs and will make you a custom portrait of your pet in a stepping stone, to be displayed in your garden or home. You supply her with a picture or two of your pet, and she recreates it in mosaic.
Of course, I was excited to see an example of one that she had already done that looked a lot like Stormie!
Take a look at some of her other samples:
Doesn't this one look just like the dog in the picture?
These stepping stones make fabulous memorials for our beloved pets that have passed away. I love how Karen has inserted a little ring into the stone so that the owner can place the dog's name tag on the stone. How special is that? She will add names and dates to the stone.
Each stepping stone is twelve inches round and two inches thick and made of solid concrete. They weigh approximately 21 pounds when completed. Each stone is sealed with an outdoor grout sealer. You can simply hose it off if its gets dirty.
Each custom made stone takes three weeks for delivery. At this time she can only deliver to the United States.
The price for a stone is $49 plus $15 shipping, so $64 total.
Karen will work with you to create that special stone, unique to you and your pet. She will do all pets, not just dogs. Visit her site, K-Dub Designs, to see so many wonderful examples of her fantastic work.
I am super excited, and am going to have to save up my pennies and order one. Problem is, it won't be just one. I will want one of each of the girls. I see much penny-saving in my future!
