Wonderful suggestions for you, Allison. I am sorry for the breakage, but there are opportunities to make some neat things with the remnants.

The other thing you might do is check with someone about having them set in a ceramic tile which could be mounted on the wall. I don't have a kiln at home, but it is something I would try if I did; NOT with your pieces, but just as an art project. I am sure it can be done, though.

I think your mom will understand.
