Sorry for the omission. I thought that I had bashed everyone's cyber ears so much with the WCBG that there was no need for specification here.

"Pffffffft!!!!! You call them pots?
THESE are pots..." "They are not pots, they are spoons!!!"
"I see you have played potty spoony before then!"

Re: Pat's pots at the WCBG show
Thanks Lisa,
It's good for me to see the pots as others see them and my first impression is that I'm overplaying the distressed look and ash glazes...
......time to get some colour back into the bigger pots

Re: Pat's pots at the WCBG show
Thanks for all the kind words. Being able to post something that is really beautiful and interesting is no chore !
They still exist and i.m.h.o. there will always be a market for those pots. By chance I saw today a big, rough pine planted in one of your 'crusty' pots and the combination worked perfectly. Like always, it's a matter of knowing how to choose one's pot for a specific tree. Or choose a tree that goes with the pot one has just bought. It's an art in itself, or rather: it's part of the bonsai art and it takes a long while to learn it.
Getting colour back in the bigger pots is a good idea, too. E.g.: one of the hardest things is to find a suitable glazed pot for the larger broadleaves, esp. the deciduous trees. Ian J. and I were talking about it the other day, and we thought that the Japanese glazes are uninspired, while the large Chinese pots never seem to have the nice glazes that some of the smaller pots have, i.e. midnight blue, brown-red, jade and deep cream (if you see what I mean); sometimes they are variegated in colour, sometimes they are speckled. Anyway, they are not boring.
Just our 5 cents worth (since 2 cents don't exist any more).

Hear hear!!..... man i respect that self critique. we can all learn from that.
Well, from what I remember, you were inspired by the rigours and colours of the Oz environment, as well as by the texture of some trees...... my first impression is that I'm overplaying the distressed look and ash glazes.........time to get some colour back into the bigger pots
