Homemade pots

I want to introduce you to the vessel which is designed based on tested recipe blends of newspaper paper and white cement.
In them I have a few of my Yamadori. >yamadori link

Hey Mario,
Did you have to leach out the "chemicals" prior to using the pots?
I like the last one personally. (round)
i have tried to use a Concrete Tufa recipe, for pots. I had to make the forms and such.
I had decent results. Looks like your results are fine.

Thank you. I will soon publish this article abouth the pot in English. There will be all writen. On the photo are pots that have withstood the 5-10 winters.



After the color adjustments, will manage another 5 years for sure!



Colore will lost the glove!

How have you made so many beautiful shapes? Molds?

Thanks Libby

Some of the pot I wanted to make from my ideas and mold them I made a base model in the styrofoam that I overlaid a paper concrete and so got mold.







Some of the same technique I copied the finished pot ...


And some I have made a negative impression of Styrofoam ...


When I went to do a pot of paper cement, in any all, I've seen mold or dish, just as in every tree in nature, see bonsai or just want to see ... It is important to begin, the ideas come as a flood, at least for me!

... I believe that I responded well, actually I was hard, my knowledge transfer in English.
Greetings and all the best in 2010

One cold morning in my basement, from the rest of the raw materials, I formed a pot ... Smile please!

Very interesting.

Your pots are really great, and your enthusiasm very communicative.

I took the liberty to post the link to this discussion on two French forums.

I also search for more info on papercrete on the web, and it came to me that I might build a cold frame for some of my plants for the next winter: though the figures about its insulation qualities are sometimes debated, it seems it is a very good thermic material.

Bonne Année, Sretna Nova Godina, Happy new Year !

Hi Mario,

Your pots look very good.

You have the discipline of a good potter,
and at the last photo you already look like a hard-working potters.

I wish you good luck with your work.

regards
Peter

Thank you
Send me a link to the French forum, where you sent it, I'm interested in hearing.
Stupidity is any discussion about the bad sides of these pots. The combination of paper and cement is strong enough to withstand the fall from 2m height. May be forever submerged in the water ... The only bad side is a very sudden change in temperature of minus, but the pot will not break, there may be peeling layer, but this is rare. Someone mentioned the bad compounds of cement that can affect the plant, it's nonsense ... My trees grow very well in these pots.
I used your post for the answer to all those who cherish suspicion, and not directly to you, because I see that you understand what it is ... do not resent me, and I wish you success in work. I will soon publish an article in English!
Hello and Happy New Year!
Mario
