Random pots

In this post i want to show most of my bonsai pots that i bought or created myself. I started with bonsai pottery in the winter of last year and will continue to get better in this craft with every new bonsai pot or accent pot.


one of my first pots created under professional guidance

I was happy how the glaze turned out; however, I should have glazed the rim too

nice accent pot from carlos hebeisen - takahama
oval pot from Isabelia bonsai museum
 
interesting glaze and could look nice when a suitable plant sits inside

rectangle pot by josef mairhofer; will be planted with a hawthorn this spring

I tried to replicate the accent pot shown above by myself and think I succeeded

on this pot I tried to create texture with the help of some chicken wire


I added a rim and punctured holes with a drill bit in this one, which turned out quite nice

the bottom of the above pot; i prefer to add plenty of drainage holes as well as small holes for wire


this is my potter signature in close detail

Accent plant: Sempervivum

Since the weather is really nice at the moment, i created this nice accent. I planted some hen and chicks into this wood-fired pot from Isabelia, which i bought last year in Arco.



DIY Bonsai tool box

Recently I made a box which holds my most used tools. It is based on a case that was laying around for quite some time. I glued in two pieces of foam from the hardware store with the hot-melt gun, then cut and ripped out parts of the foam according to the size of the tools. The finish was achieved with black spray paint.
