I've left orders to be cremated but the urns are so sappy looking I'll just make my own. I'm 72 so it won't collect much dust LoL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29159709.post-86507532411450804712010-06-22T05:44:31.368-06:002010-06-22T05:44:31.368-06:00All lovely, Michael (now that the little "!^*...All lovely, Michael (now that the little "!^*&**^%-er" is cooperating). I'm going to have to send the link to your blog post to my mom and dad. Why, you (might) ask? Well, back when I was creating wood pieces a la "Sticks" style, I told my parents that I wanted to create a "coffin table" that was a side table decorated with details of my life. There would be a door on the front with a spot inside the table to store my urn. Every time someone sat a drink on my coffin table, they could think of me.<br /><br />Your urn is a much better execution (no morbid death row reference intended, ok...well, maybe a little intended) of the idea. And now I can show my parents that I'm not the only one who thinks up this stuff.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post. Going to have to take that urn class if I get the chance. Cheers! -ShellyShellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211160288546831008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29159709.post-51830854974123119702010-06-21T22:00:33.977-06:002010-06-21T22:00:33.977-06:00very funny michael.. and i liked the idea when you...very funny michael.. and i liked the idea when you posted it from Australia over xmas... yes indeed it would be interesting to make one's own urn for one's remains, but for me it might take a long time to finish it. i could see adding a little here a little there throughout the remainder of my artistic life. thanks for posting your sketches, it is always interesting to see how artists resolve their problems... yoyona c. rielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503450776898989612noreply@blogger.com
