I like to make conventional or typical bonsai pots, the type you can put a number of different trees in.
I also like to make an occasional "mad" pot.
So this is what I would call a mad pot, been made for a while and was bisque fired last week. I love the shape but it has a crack. All the normal pots came out fine but this one failed the test.
Disappointed again but I will persevere. I might post a few of the others after the glaze firing.

By the way, it didn't pass the sledge hammer test either!

I was going to suggest making a feature of the crack by colouring the glue green to match the moss but I think the sledgehammer test 
has exceeded the capabilities of the glue
