Pots on a budget...

[fredman]

I'm probably the only person on Earth who did this, but I used polymer over-bake clay for a pot. I left it outside for a full year in the sun and weather, and it looked like it didn't weather at all. This spring, I put a small tree in it as a test and also to mess around with rocks and moss.

The pot is still perfectly good as far as I can tell. The funny thing is it's slight bendy, so I don't think I could break it without trying hard to do so. I have another one I made last winter that has no trees yet. It's much thinner and flatter, so who knows if that will work.

I love it man. You'll treasure that pot for ever. Hope it lasts that for you to.

Seems i do have a problem with attaching the oven baked polymer feet to the bottom of the clay base. I need a better way to attach them.
Some feet is coming loose....and falling off.
I've used proper glue to...JB weld epoxy and E6000 glue.
