I like the "large cracked pot"

I just use paint for all of my resizing.

A bit off topic but I still can't stop laughing over that Avatar you have Jarad. That is one serious baby.

Good on you, Lynette....

The 'cracked' pot looks interesting but I'd really like to see a better photo of what looks like a 'crawling' glaze in the last two shots.

Cheers,
Pat

ps I wouldn't refer to my pots as "cracked"....."distressed", sounds so much better 8-)

I love the look of those little white pots in the 2nd last photo titled "last kiln load before bbh" with the speckled coat like a cracked egg shell look. Very nice Lyn.

And that looks like some lovely glazes in the 2nd last photo titled "many pots", the slightly reddish and brownish ones.

Hi Pat,
Its nice to hear from you.
That's a far better name, I will have to remember it. I don't have a close up of the white crawling glaze, but it is one I have been using for as long as I have been potting. Quite a while now.

Nice.

How about "fractured pot" ? Possibly not much better than cracked though.

Image rezizer has the be the easiest if you use windows. You do not even have to open the files. Just "right click" - resize. takes about 5 seconds in total
it really is a no brainer and should be standard install on every pc.

I'm with Rory, that crawling white glaze is beautiful! Reminds me of snake skin or a mythical 'dragon scale' haha. Do you do it in an array of colours? Very beautiful pots Lyn.

I can make various colours in this glaze, but the white is by far the most popular.

Thanks for the tip Ken, a shame you can't get to Bonsai by the Harbour, Penny will be there too.
