For an Alabama Coast Shrimp Boat Capt’n…who lived
and loved fully, unabashedly, his own way. These shrimp boat urns were
handmade in his honor, for each of his three sisters.
Will was described as loving life and everything about it. His wife, Paula, wanted something related to nature to remember him...maybe a Pine Tree or nature scene? We suggested that a Pine Cone urn would be cool and she agreed.
They were married in Lake Tahoe and she saved a pine cone from their time spent there together. Following his passing, Paula returned to Lake Tahoe for some needed time and reflection. She took along Will's cremains and scattered a portion of the ashes there in remembrance of him and their union.
Pine trees hold a special place in our hearts too. We loved creating this piece to honor Will. We hope that it offers Paula, and their family, some comfort and beauty in their time of mourning and in the years ahead.
This Flying Heart YURN is a prototype model that we will be releasing
soon. In order to practice our techniques, we created this one for a
Facebook friend. She is experiencing the great loss of losing her
fiancee just prior to their marriage. Our thoughts are with her in the
coming days ahead.

I am overwhelmed with comfort and love. There are some who look down on virtual-only friendships. Tonight, though, I've proof to show how wrong they are. Friends I have never met IRL have given me an incredible gift. Jamaica and Rob of MorzArt sent an unexpected package. This gorgeous piece is a deep urn (or as they call it, a Yurn). It will hang on a wall as an urn, a memory box, or simply a beautiful reminder of Keith Johnson's life. I hope that none of you need funerary art for a very long time. But when you do, please look up these fantastic, compassionate artists.
