I can’t wait!

I can’t wait!

I feel however i paint it will greatly change how it looks. The beauty of paint though is that its cheap ajd i can repaint over it if i do not luke how it looks of get bored with it.

Maybe you’ll like it even more!

 

[Beanwagon]

More or less finished. I may changed it going forward. Undecided so far.

It looks a lot better in person.

The project was cheap and relatively easy. Im excited to make some more.

Like always i encourage critical feedback.

 

[HorseloverFat]

Awesome!!!!

Started working on another pot today after a long break from this thread.




I am trying to make a pot for this ror swamp cypress.


I want the pot to look a similar texture to the rock.

I have long been intrigued by concrete pots having made hypertuffa pots commercially years ago, but my hands are quite full working in clay. Still, with the price of clay rising daily, I may revisit this some day. I used to buy my clay for about 35 cents a pound and now it is a dollar and more a pound.

Cypress over rock is an unusual pairing from my prospective, but it does look fantastic. Where the cypress grows here in South Louisiana, there are no natural stones. If you find a stone here, you can bet someone hauled it in from a considerable distance for road building or landscaping. I like the bent wire fixture. That should make a bulletproof pot.

I would love to get into clay.

Cement is quick and can be easy once you get the hang of it.

Thanks.

Definitely an unusual pairing.

Generally speaking I try and not limit myself with having to design bonsai like that appear in nature. It makes it more fun for me.
