	Custom Containers & Traditional Native Style Urns I make a variety of custom containers which have many uses as keepsake containers, private storage containers, or for use as Urns (for both pets and loved ones). If you are interested in a custom sculptural art piece as an Urn, please contact me. You will need to provide me with the details I need to produce your custom piece. Urn designs depict traditional designs elements and have traditional spiritual elements. The pet urn to the left is a basic asymmetrical design with the symbol for cat on the side. The lid is held down at an angle (to keep the kitty from escaping) with a pair of hardwood chopsticks. If you want an Urn, please note that I incorporate traditional elements and have family members contribute pieces that will be incorporated in the Urn. Price: Prices vary depending on the complexity of the container or Urn, the size, and materials used. Urns can be as small as 12 inches high to as large as 6 feet tall and can cost from as little as $80.00 to as high as $10,000.00 depending on the complexity and style of sculpture desired. Limited Edition Bronze Urns will soon be available.
Note: This is the ONLY stoneware piece I to do.	Stoneware Beer Butt Chicken Roasters Beer Butt Chicken is one of my FAVORITE dishes, especially when it is done on the grill; it is awesome and hard to beat. I developed my own style of Beer Butt Chicken Roaster with someone special in mind; it makes it easier for those preparing this savory dish. Unfortunately, it is difficult to stand a chicken on a beer can to roast. And, I don't like the idea of heating and aluminum can inside a chicken I'm going to eat. It's also difficult to pull the chicken off the beer can once it is done roasting. This Stoneware Chicken roaster is designed to hold your favorite beer inside the chicken making it moist and tender; even on the grill. It also works great with your vegetables around the bottom of the chicken. Wall hangers are available to display and store your dish when not in use. I like to call the Beer Butt Chicken roaster you see on the left my "Zia Chicken Roaster". I incorporate traditional symbols on all my work which sometimes allows me to have a little fun. Price: $49.00 - $100.00 (depending on embellishments). First come first serve basis and is dependent on whether I have any in stock.
