Hi Joann,

You have some lovely pots and some lovely glazes, I remember one that was posted on facebook that from memory Scott bought and it was an aqua coloured glaze and genuinely it was one of the loveliest glazed pots I have seen, even better it came from a Aussie potter.

I hope you don't mind me asking but, why would doing your own thing be a negative ?

Cheers

David

Last one is by far my favorite, although the more i look at the second, the more I like it also :aussie:

Funky feet on the first one, I'd like to see it matched with a tree.

I think we got to double figures today, but the wind blew off the snow...

Hi Joann, These do look good, my favourite's are 2 and 4, I love the pattern of 2 and the glaze of 4. No.1 is good too but 3 does not appeal to me it must be the pattern, it looks too much like a coil pot that has not had the coils smoothed out, I know that is often a desired effect but is not to my taste. I can see 2,3,4 as fairly large pots, the pattern and glazes would work well.Have I been of help :fc: keep up the good work. Michael.

Thanks for your comments ,they are appreciated. :D

David , in answer to your ? . Sometimes a pot may not sell , so I plant it up, then people see what it was all about.
most of my own plant styles are not bonsai, they are penzai and what ever I want to live with.
So that is why I sometimes need feedback.
As well as the fact that I am known for my Mame pots , which do conform to Japanese style.

As it is winter and drying is slow , I am now stocking up for our Waverley Bonsai show which is 2nd week of August .

again thanks for your comments joann :aussie:
