42 Mice

Post by Pup »

G,day Matt, just an update on a couple of pots of yours that caused, well nothing really just a lot of oohs and ahhs.

They have been planted up the little raft was done when we got the pots about 5months ago, the others were done on Wednesday just gone.

I hope you like what I have done with your pots mate, cos I do.

Cheers Pup

Hey Pup,
Its good to see you managed to wrest some from MrsP. The raft was crazy enough but that elm is :o

To be honest they were starting to really depress me just sitting around the place, knowing they are being used brings me great joy. Since sending them I have gotten back into making pots, focusing on shohin & chuhin, seeing these makes me want to make some mini's again :D

Matt

Pup,
I hope you don't mind the little edit of the title :oops: Allow me my psydoneum :yes:

I will take pics of whatever I have in my pots & would love to see a few more of the 300 odd scattered around the country. When the kiln is firing I will then post pics of new work.

Matt

Amazing work guys!

Matt, to make pottery this small and intricate is admirable (you must have a very small kiln :lol: :palm: )

Pup and Craig, keeping these little beauties alive is an art in itself :worship: the elms are my favs (Pups right and Craig's last), hopefully you'll be able to show again when they have foliage :fc:

Pup and Craig ... are these kept in gravel trays? ... all year round?

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks Craig, I got a tray fabricated last march that I intend setting up with gravel for this summer. I'm now inspired to try my hand at mame (or are these smaller than mame?) aswell!
Cheers, Ryan

Well done craig and Pup. To be honest if I where to try and grow trees this small they would probably last a day or two given the attention I give my current trees. You must have to keep a very close eye on the watering and fert?

Well done.
