Another Mudlark

Post by MattA »

I am a little pot obsessed and almost always bound to find something just that little bit extra when looking at local potter Penny Davis's work (Mudlark Pottery). While visiting the Central Coast Bonsai Club's annual show today I couldn't help myself & had to have this stunning rectangle.

I didn't think I had anything that would suit but remembered this chunk of wood...

For now I will use it as a growpot for a Leptospermum until the Murraya has been developed :tu:

Very nice pot there Matt. Any chance of a front on shot?

Cheers,
Mojo

I had eyes for that murrayah from the second I saw it! A beautiful tree, to match that pot. What style are you looking at making the murrayah for that rectangle?

Jason,
You may still get the tree, the pot never...
I have a few Mudlark pots & am not keen on parting with any, consider yourself very very lucky.

Agree with you Jason!

What size is the beastie Matt. Actually, that's probably both pot and plant if you don't mind!

Thanks,

Steve
