I dropped in & picked up my new pots & thought I would share some... Overall I am happy with how they have come out, a few didnt work out but thats what happens when you try something different.

Nice pots Matt
I like #1 as it is quite different, is it as heavy as it looks?

Thanks fatming, its my least favored in terms of shape, tho i really like the body, it will work with the right planting.

Booga, Penny did a great job firing them for me. Only one has a planned future so far & thats not been photographed yet, will post when it has its stone in residence :D

Ken, Its not overly heavy but the carve of it gives that grounding weight a fly away tree might need.

The dark marbling of #6 makes it my pic for body & the combination of both reduction & oxidising on # 7 make the shown side something different. Thanks again to Penny for firing these in her kiln, I was lucky the second one didnt end up fused to the shelf, a little too much iron in the paste I had applied to the rim :palm:
