After Such A Loss...YURNS are Easier to Look at.


We received this message with a recent order for a Bass Fish YURN:

"I just want to tell you that I lost my youngest son... I have put off buying an urn because I was looking for something special. I knew exactly what I wanted and when I saw this urn I knew it was the reason why I waited. My son was an avid fisherman and this represents him perfectly. Thank you for making unique urns which also make it easier for a parent to look at after such a loss."  - Myrna A.

YURN'ing for a New Workshop


 
We are excited to have a new work space to build our YURNS! After working around some great spring rain, we completed the shell and electrical, and moved our YURNS supplies inside today!
We lost our prior shop in the Bastrop wildfire a few years ago, and for us, this new creative space has been a long time coming.
In order to move forward with our art endeavors, we were in major need of replacing our workshop, and moving our supplies/equipment out of our living room.  We decided to reuse the existing concrete slab where our old shop stood.
This is a exciting step towards progress with the business, and healing for our creative souls to have a new space to work!

Our First Print Ad

We did our first print ad in a local Bastrop County publication for visitors and residents. Included with our ad was a very nice write-up about YURNS. Additionally, Jamaica was a Contributing Graphic Designer, creating a portion of the ads in the magazine. "The Guide to Bastrop County 2015-16":

It's Obvious They Love What They Do...Simply Beautiful




We received this lovely review on our first Etsy shop sale. We are so honored to have the opportunity to work with this family and create this personalized guitar YURN. It was very special to us that they shared videos of their son singing and playing his guitar. God rest his beautiful and talented soul.

"When my son passed we were desperate to find an urn that reflected his love of the guitar. We were excited when we found MorzArt on Etsy. The owners of the shop are sincere, caring, and really cool people. It's obvious they love what they do and it is reflected in their work. The urn is PERFECT. Simply beautiful. All of our family and friends were very impressed with this unique way having our son in our home. Rarely, if ever, do you deal with the people behind the product when you make an internet purchase. In this case Rob and Jamaica were readily available and added some personal touches just for our son. I highly recommend them. Their work is heartfelt and truly special."  - Jerry L.

New Model In the Works: Catfish



The beginnings of a Catfish YURN...an old family friend has requested a special order for her father-in-law who loved to fishing at his family's lake house.  They had been putting off finding a permanent urn that fit his personality...once they saw our Bass Angler urn, they knew a Catfish would be perfect for their dad.

She Was Pure Sunshine




Doris June Forsythe

January 4, 1931 - April 2, 2015


Over the last month, we had the profound experience of caring for Jamaica's grandmother, Doris June, as she made her transition from this Earth. Cancer went mis/undiagnosed and by the time she received an official diagnosis, it had spread into her lymphatic system and spine...hospice arrived that same day.
For 22 days we were able to care for her and tell her how much we love her- although short, we appreciate that time and opportunity. She was pure sunshine and joy to all who knew her and she will be deeply missed. 
Many thanks to our buddy, Stephen, at Star of Texas Casket Company for collaborating with us on her sentimental and personalized Cedar casket. It was beautiful and we know she would have loved the special touches carved into it for her. Rest in peace, sweet Doie, your legacy of love, faith and laughter lives on in your children, grand and great.
