Whether custom or readymade, our urns are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and materials to reflect the unique qualities of family members, human and furry, who have passed before us.

🌺 Continuing with May flowers is a collection from our fairly vast portfolio of painted botanical urns. Zoom in to appreciate the details or step back to take in the complete composition✨
I draw flowers directly on the urns, then the super fabulous & I meticulously paint each petal, leaf and stem with underglazes. Each color requires 2-3 coats to withstand the firing process. 🔥
🖌️Underglaze is liquid, pigmented clay that does not contain silica so doesn’t ‘melt’ during firing.🖌️
Underglazes are chalky and pastel when applied, then transform into bright, glossy colors after clear-glazed & fired. Years of experience help me anticipate what the finished colors will look like, but as with all ceramics there’s always an element of surprise when opening the kiln. 😃
Unlike decal flowers (mostly limited to ivory backgrounds), our painted flowers thrive on backgrounds of any color. This flexibility allows for many flower styles ranging from realistic to stylized & graphic.
