#necklace pendants

[chimerical-creations]

My entry to this year's @dreamkeeperscomic Halloween contest. Glow-in-the-dark necklace pendants of the Nightmare and Neon Knives faction symbols.

Pendants are approx. 4cm in diameter and made of stone; not sure what, exactly, but if I had to guess I'd say some sort of agate. Faction insigna were drawn in Inkscape, cut out of vinyl, sandblasted into the stones, then filled in with paint (the purple of the Nightmares pendant), and glow powder mixed into clear porcelain varnish (everything else). Baked in regular oven to fuse the paints and varnish/powder mixes, then slapped things with a spray-on clearcoat for extra protection.

When a loved one is cremated, it can be difficult to choose what to do with their ashes. You know they deserve to be memorialised in a way that fits their wishes and honours the person they were. You may think about placing their ashes in an urn in your home, or perhaps scattering them in the ocean or an area outdoors that they always loved.

What is cremation jewellery?

It can be difficult to talk about how you’re feeling after the death of a loved one. Cremation jewellery is a unique way to honour your loved ones and celebrate both their life and the love that you had for them. The process can seem overwhelming, but this guide will help walk you through the steps to create cremation jewelry from start to finish, no matter what type of jewellery you choose.

Human ash urn jewellery is an affordable way to keep your loved one close to you. Whether you purchase this item to carry a portion of the ashes or you order a necklace with the cremated remains already inside, urn jewellery allows for discrete and classy ways to keep your bond with a lost friend, family member, or spouse strong.

Cremation beads can be just as unique and individual as your loved one was. By creating your own necklace or bracelet, you’ll have a beautiful piece of art celebrating your loved one that you’ll be proud to wear.

If you've lost a loved one and are looking for an enduring way to honour their memory, cremation jewellery could be the way to go. Glass keepsakes can be made using the same method as glass pendants. You could choose a glass sculpture, paperweight, or orb. If your loved one was an animal lover, you may want a sculpture in the shape of their favourite animal.

As much as it hurts to lose a loved one, we don’t want death to be the end of the story. That’s why we created a new way to memorialise your loved ones, cremation jewellery for the beautiful soul that would be proud of how you’re preserving their footprint in the world.

Cremation jewellery is a surprisingly thoughtful and versatile way to keep a part of your loved ones with you at all times. Some people place a small piece in the foundation of their home, while others like to wear them in necklace pendants or bracelets. No matter what you do, it's certain to have special meaning and significance for you. And it's always nice to know that your loved one will never be forgotten.

On the way back from Tea Country with Chakra-poisoned Kakashi tryna "casually" fish for some info before Sakura comes in with the one-hit KO on accident.

So she's got some complicated feelings for Kakashi as well, though they're a lot milder than what she feels about Sasuke.

There's a moment in my AU where Sakura goes through a deep reflection ritual, in which she has to face Inner Sakura -who is representative of all the ugly truths her day-to-day self hasn't been able to face- and come to terms with who she is.

During that time, she's got to face the music.

The music:

Sasuke is the last prodigal son of a clan that was brutally butchered. He's a genius with one of the most powerful dojutsu out there (that he has no idea how to use) and is coming in hot with more baggage than an airport terminal.

Naruto is not normal. She doesn't know what he is (as in-canon, she finds out after the time-skip and the Sakura from above is right on the cusp of Shippuden), but there's nothing normal about a kid who can pull wild orange chakra and who can fight Gaara's tailed beast and come out on top. He's got the personal attention of the Hokage, but the entire village has banded against him for some reason. He's special.

Kakashi is a war veteran turned Jounin and an infamous ANBU captain (I headcanon that some ANBU names are leaked specifically to generate a healthy level of fear/caution among other villages- which is why we know of Itachi/Kakashi/Shisui very publically) and is ALSO the last prodigal son of an old noble clan.

(No way a bookworm like Sakura didn't consume every publically available scroll on Konoha clans).

It doesn't take the big brains to figure out that he got team 7 specifically to help deal with Sasuke's trauma/teach him about the Sharingan, and put a leash on Naruto (and in the future, when she finds out that Madara was able to control the Kyuubi with the Sharingan as well as the knowledge that Kakashi was Minato's student it becomes even clearer why he got the Sasuke/Naruto combo.)

And Sakura? Sakura is a civilian. No clan, no dojutsu, nothing to her name except great chakra control. She's the literal meat in the meat-grinder of the military machine of Konoha, the acceptable sacrifice in a group of otherwise invaluable shinobi. She's just a...girl. (And it doesn't help that she was obsessed with Sasuke instead of training, furthering the gulf between her and Kakashi.)

Kakashi was absolutely not built to handle her- in fact, Kakashi has NO idea how to relate who hasn't gone through a mountain's worth of trauma or someone who hasn't been ingrained in the shinobi-as-a-tool lifestyle, and even then, he's not fully equipped to handle people who have (lmao Sasuke). Not to mention the man is a prodigy- he has no idea how to teach people who have to work hard to get somewhere in life. How do you teach someone if you've never had to 'work hard' to get there yourself?

So, Sakura understands that Kakashi was put in one of the most ridiculous situations of his career- a situation he had NO idea how to handle. She can forgive him for that. BUT, she can't forgive him for not trying his best.

Sakura spent a lot of time coming to terms with the fact that she rushed into the Chidori/Rasengan combo without a single idea of what she would do, but...Kakashi was a big reason for that.

She was HIS responsibility, and he fumbled that bag. Whatever his reasoning, whether it was to 'protect' her, or whether he thought she was worthless, whatever: he should have TRIED.

Kakashi was an adult with resources aplenty. He recognized that she had stellar chakra control but never bothered to teach her genjutsu or direct her to teachers who could pick up the slack.

And after the accident, he abandoned her again. Being forgotten in lieu of Sasuke and Naruto hurt...but she could heal. Being abandoned as some kind of martyr to Kakashi's failures as a teacher? It's gonna take a while for Kakashi to make that up to her...if he can muster the courage to face her.

Sakura finally understands why he preferred the memorial stone to the living. He already failed the dead, and it's easier to wallow in self-flagellation than it is to try and step up for the living.

Sakura stopped being a coward some time ago, and when Kakashi finally does the same, she'll forgive him.

Thank you so much for sticking with this wall of text! And thank you so much anon for the question! Once again, I really appreciate all the kind words people have been throwing my way. <3 <3 <3
