Yes not 100% sure how Petra did it yet but I think it is the wheat or similar with the oxide, it seems there is a slip there as well though Hmmm

Thank you all, and for all your encouraging thoughts & wishes. Maybe, i will sell them one day .
Bodhi, i am planning on making bigger pots in the future.
And Brett, you guessed wrong. There was no slip done. Was all hand created and textured by myself. This texture will become my trademark.
And already i have future pots in the making. Not to mention, my natives are picked out for these pots.
