:: Ouch Planters

Pinch Pot Air Plant Hanger
 Tonight I reveal, my first set to Ouch Planters!

My return to clay has been very enjoyable and I have had loads of fun hand building these pieces, typically there are the usual losses to glaze faults and cracking but a bit more testing and I will get it right!
I'm very pleased with these two and I couldn't wait to show you!

A bit  of crazing, so I am looking into a different clay body.

Today's thrift find, a pair of Lotte candlestick holders

 This hanger was made from buff raku, it can take a small slow growing cactus or an air plant.
 The pattern style is inspired by Bitossi! (thanks MMMC xx)




The design was inspired by a Sunflower.

  5. Oh my goodness, I agree, the brown one is amazing! And imagine, two little Figgjo Lotte pieces, made close to where I grew up, emigrated all the way to Australia:-)

  6. Hi Pippa, I love the colour of the glaze you're working with at the moment..a sea glass kind of look. It reminds me of a tropical beach with that really clear water that turns aqua as it gets deeper. The shapes of the brown ones are fantastic.
