My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Pumping Them Out
Two more pots made last night. You'll see these have waves, uneven rims and flat spots - I left those in there on purpose - added character ;)
This first one was a 285 gram block of Soldate (that's all I have if you haven't figured that out). Body pinched out and feet added once the body was stiff enough to keep its shape with the extra handling.
My wedding ring is in the picture for scaling purposes.
This next one is another flower cutting vase. Big asymmetrical bulge in the belly. 116 grams once air dry.
And a third one I did the night before. This one is 114 grams dry. I like the hole pattern and combo of pushed and added feet.
