Some pots for the new gallery

These new pots are some of the best I've seen of yours lately.

Thanks,
Here is a nice carved oval with white glaze.

A carved larger and deep oval with greyish/green satin glaze.



here is a smaller carved shohin oval with a creamy/green glaze.

Wow very cool finishes and glaze's dale! Lovem!

Love those carved ones and glazes, too!

Wheel thrown sides on a slab are my favorites method of forming pots. You just never know (to quote Forest Gump, lol)

Thank you for the pictures. They inspire me.

Here is one quickly thrown at the end of the day with about 5 different clay scrap trimmings . With my green ash glaze with ash from my fireplace.

At the MidAtlantic Bonsai Symposium last weekend I photographed these two trees on display that were potted in Dale pots.

The first is a tall Austrian Pine by Jim Gillespie in a pot I made specifically for that tree a few years back.



The second tree is a Jack Pine potted in a matte granite-looking glazed pot.

After the Potomac show this last weekend at the Washington, D.C. National Arboretum it appears there will be a couple shohin 'Dale Pots' returning to the UK with Mr. Tolley, who was there doing demos and workshops during the weekend.

A while back I had a great pot technique idea come to me while watching one of Jesse James' programs where he built a motorcycle and used sheets of polished copper in the construction of the fenders, tank, etc.. He built a beautiful tank by piecing together sections of copper and riveting them with beautiful flowing rows of rivets. It gave me a new idea for rivet pots. I've done horiz. rivets and vert. rivets, now I have "JJ" pots.
This is the second time I've gotten pottery ideas while watching custom motorcycle build shows!

I call this large oval "Barking Up The Wrong Tree", although my bark does look kinda like bricks?

Hereare a couple shots of one of my heavy, deep, oval "SUMO" pots. This one is unglazed.

A large, low, light DRB pot.

These are beautiful in their ruggedness.
The meandering oxides add interest and mystery.

What kind of tree might be graced by these pots?
Thank you,

Judy

I need some cascade shohin pots - hope a few make it to Florida next weekend.

"Dry Riverbed" pots with blue and fireplace ash green

A few weeks ago Lindsay Farr and I were chatting and he gave me a code to watch his newest untranslated video of Chinese potters decorating pots. I was so impressed that the next day I started this pot. It is the biggest bamboo pot I've made so far and I added a dragonfly among the bamboo.
I call this pot my "Lindsay Farr Tribute pot" for all he has done for bonsai by producing his wonderful videos for all of us.

For any that checked out my latest offerings.....I hope you enjoyed the efforts and the finished products.
