You're here!! Great. Welcome to Mo's Memorials. Although my main interest started out to be doing pet memorials it appears people want other rocks too. Take a trip through my gallery pages and check some of them out. I use rocks, slate, granite, marble and even do frosting on glass panes. I wish I could get a decent picture of the glass because they are very nice. But the glare gets me every time. UPDATE!! I do the 8 x 8" square blocks now also and have conquered the glare problem. I frost the front of the glass block and apply my vinyl to that. Check them out on my Work in Progress page!!

I was at a craft fair in November and a lady asked me what are the rocks for. ??? It's a ROCK. I told her I put mine in my flower beds or out by my water pond. I have a little memory garden out there in honor of my pets that have died.

We are located in northwest Ohio, small town called Hicksville, yes that is the name of our town. "We" are actually just me and my dogs and one cat. Mogus, Molly and Buckshot respectively. And our good friend John helps keep the equipment running smoothly.

The idea for Mo's Memorials began when I was reading about the tainted pet food and so many pets dying from eating it. My dogs were on a special diet for their skin problems at the time so they were not affected, thankfully. But many were and I started clicking on links to memorial sites and then I was seeing memorial stones and markers. I thought they were beautiful and wondered how they made them. More research!! This got me started looking at sandblasting techniques and the next thing I knew, I had a sandblaster sitting in my garage.

It took awhile to learn how to use it and have my stuff look 'pretty good'. There was a lot more to it than I thought. But I have it down now 'pretty much'. I have even been doing glass and it looks really nice. I put my initial on a set of glasses and was quite pleased with it. I'm thinking of putting a shih tzu on a set next. I have two of those but that's a whole other story!

My next step was getting a plotter so I could make my own stencils and quit bugging the sign guy although he never complained. I got a cheaper model but it is working for me so far. Then, since I had the plotter I decided to make vinyl stencils for car windows or house windows or even metal signs. The back window of my truck is covered with vinyl graffitti and art work. Some are inside and some are outside. I want to see how they weather through the winter here in Ohio. The sign vinyl is supposed to be good for 5-7 years so it better make it through the 1st winter! And now it is almost Spring and they are still there and look just as good as when I put them on.

The thing is, I just love to sandblast now. It is pretty much all I think about when I'm not at work. So if I can make you a pet memorial, well that would just be great. My prices are way below others on the Internet but not because I don't do as good as they do. It's just that I would like all pets to be honored and remembered. A stone in your flower bed or out by a water pond is one way to do just that.

Thank you for visiting my site and we hope to hear from you soon. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Please take a look through my galleries.
