Trying to get caught back up after the Asheville sale......



another....

Beautiful piece Dale! I could imagine the spending on each planter, specially the oval shape pot.

beautiful work as usual i really like the side profile of the first pot keep up the great works dale

Thanks guys

Love the dry river bed finish. Beautiful work.

I love how clean and smooth the curves and surfaces are on that first oval. The precision and symmetry
are elegant.

Some times you feel like a  Tea bowl.....and sometimes you don't    

The difference....A hole in the bottom.

All are Dried and glazed now, ready for next firing.

Looking good Dale, look forward to seeing them glazed

Happy New Year

dale they look great can't wait to see what they look like when finished

A few weeks ago I had one of them there epiphany things while I was looking at ads for the new INDIAN motorcycles and admiring their beautiful leather seats.
It was a new technique expanded off of my original DRY RIVERBED technique on VERY rugged pots and I decided to call it 'OLD CRACKED SEWN LEATHER'.
Well I made a prototype of the idea ( this is IT) and then made a larger one not yet fired. I have a few thoughts now in the works to improve on the idea. This is the FIRST of this idea. 8 3/4" x 7 3/4" x 2 1/2"

A commissiound pot for Andre.
He wanted a much bigger version of a shohin pot I did in the past and wanted Phillips Screws instead of Rivets.
About 10 inches across INSIDE

Andre also wanted a MUCH BIGGER version of a small pot I did earlier which had rolled up feet.
Here is what I made him with my DRY RIVERBED finish.
I riveted the feet on.
11 inches across the inside.

Superb Dale!

Thanks Todd, I appreciate it.

I really like the leather look! Now how will you add fringe......?

Loving the leather look its funny how we get inspired by what is around us and use then in what we make

I have further ideas on the stitched leather ( as soon as I get more of that clay) but I'm passing on the fringe  
I think ONLY a bonsai guy with an INDIAN would buy one !   

Hi Dale,
Great looking pots as usual, I'm not into bikes but I would buy one of your pots with the cracked leather..... I really like it....there is also other colors of cracked leather to try  
Cheers Graham

Leather is so cool. And I really dig those rivets on the feet of Andres pot!
