ASHEVILLE, NC October 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) Ask any middle aged baby boomer about their end of life preferences, and you're almost guaranteed
to hear, "well, of course I want to be cremated." Shine On Brightly is delighted to share with you a collection
of unique, personalized memorial art at http://www.shineonbrightly.com.
This online company features artist-designed, hand-crafted products to memorialize and celebrate
lives of loved ones, including friends, family, or cherished pets. A variety of materials and styles
is available, including ceramics, biodegradable urns, jewelry, glass, wood, metal, textile art, hand-crafted books,
memorial poetry, and paintings. The website also offers links to valuable resources to help with end-of-life issues.
Many recent articles, books, and other media point toward the growing number of cremations, both in the US and worldwide. Babyboomers especially, are breaking tradition in their spiritual beliefs, environmental convictions, and affinity toward individuality in all aspects of life. The funeral industry concedes to this rapid conversion to cremation, yet products for containment of cremation remains are limited, and are often mass-produced and outsourced. Shine On Brightly fills this void by providing unique art pieces made with love and fine craftsmanship. Pieces can either contain cremains, or memorialize a life.
The idea for the company was developed from a lifelong passion for art, and the belief that every life deserves to be honored and celebrated. Adrienne Crowther, owner of Shine On Brightly, believes that "art has the power to heal, to unite, to express feeling when words sometimes can't be found. Art can pay tribute to someone and serve as a constant symbol of the unique spirit within. What a perfect way to memorialize a life."
Western North Carolina is renowned for some of the finest craft available worldwide. Shine On Brightly is based in Asheville, and represents many of the master artisans who work here. "The idea is to expand the selection as we grow," notes Crowther. "I'm thrilled about the commitment and level of excellence of the artists who are featured on the website." Included in this all-star lineup are the following artists, listed by medium -
Ceramics: Amy Goldstein-Rice, Rose Tripoli-Mueller, JR Page, Tom Turner, Kim Dryden, Louis and Christine Colombarini , David Voorhees, Kat McIver, Steven Forbes deSoule Glass: Robert Levin, Rick Melby, James Yaun

Mr. Spock Rises to the Top This Week at LiveAuctionTalk.com
2010-10-28
He was the green-blooded, pointy-eared, extraterrestrial millions tuned into watch on the Star Trek TV series every week. Even though Mr. Spock never actually saved humanity from evil doers, got beamed up to a civilization more evolved than our own or less fit for habitation, no one really cared.
He was Spock—the clear-headed, rational and no monkey-business type guy you wanted around when you were in a jam. His unshakable composure was hard to come by--even on television.
"If someone came up to me and said, "You can't be Leonard Nimoy anymore. But you can be anyone ...
