Maker of unique glass jewlery/vials?

Question

My friend's 16th birthday is comming up, and I figured it'd be really neat if I did something unique for her. She's a huge Naruto fan, and her favorite character is Gaara, so what I wanted to do was possibly have a glass necklace of Gaara's gourd made, and fill it with sand so she could wear it.

Does anyone know someone who could do this, or a shop where I could buy an item similar to it? Or, if no one knows either of those things, could someone tell me how much it could end up running me if I ended up having it custom made? I figured the vial would be an inch, inch and a half long, max.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

Look around anime store sites and see if you can find some cos-play pieces. That would be the easiest. Try www.animenation.com or www.animecastle.com to start with.

Next, try looking at bottles for sand art. Crafting stores carry these and you never know when you might just find what you need.

The last and most expensive option would be to find an artisan who specializes in glass blowing. Bring lots of pictures and an open mind. You need to get close, not exact. Any fan will identify close enough quickly.

Any guy might properly be a father, in spite of the undeniable fact that it takes somebody specific to be a daddy. I omit him so very lots.

PS -"jewlery" is not a very nice word - I'm sure you didn't mean to spell it that way!
