Here is the story behind these customs,which was written by the client, not me so read it! :)
"I'll go ahead and share why I chose these so you know the story behind what you are
making. Sunflowers are my all time favorite flower. This past year has been difficult, my husband battled (and won) cancer and sunflowers are one thing that always put a smile on my face. He paints on canvas and the first painting he ever made me was of a sunflower. So it is very special to me for a few reasons. Rasta colors (the striping for the pendant for the necklace) are a big part of who He and I are. We are very laid back and we are both hippy. I am in love with tye dye (I tye dye for anyone who wants it) and we both love Bob Marley who is big on the rasta culture. The date 10-31-08 is my anniversary with my husband." -Ashton Ridley

Great tie dye,nicely presented also
morning Ashton..I love tie die also..once when my guys were young, I was in the middle of a dyeing session and needed more 100% cotton fabric. The only thing I had handy was their underwear! A few weeks later they came home upset with me because they got teased in Gym class while changing...they had on tie-dyed briefs....not good when you are 11 and 13 ;-(
If you read my etsy profile you will understand when I send my sincere good wishing and prayers of a long healthy life to you and your hubby..I will be happily following you...not in a stalking way ;-)
wow that sunflower ring is fantastic! i have always loved them as well. and what a touching story!
