Yes, I said URNS---Those ginger jars that contains the ancestors. People can write their own memorial words that can be written on the jar that eventually would hold their last remains. Of course, they will change their minds, and want a new one every now and then. You could even do portraits on the vase. Angels, bible verses, inspiring poetry and words of wisdom could adorn an urn.
I once was asked to make a ceramic vase with a painting and a special poem written just for newly weds by the buyer of the vase. I used a calligraphy pen dipped in ceramic paint for the poem and surrounded the poem with flowers. I covered it in glaze and it should last at least as long or longer than the marriage. It was truly a work of art and they really appreciated it as a wedding gift.
