Hi Martin

Your cement pots a looking almost 'natural'. They do have that natural 'x-factor' - I can read a lot of dramatic climate wilderness narratives into these pots. Excellent!

It's funny though...how creative cement 'pottery' obviously is a growing trend this year ;-)

I was planning to have a go at it myself during my summer hollidays - and your pots are truly inspiring...for my taste

regards from Loke Emil

Martin...can you give us a little information on how these were made??? I am familiar with clay pottery but I am curious about cement construction.
Wonderful pots with a great natural patina!!

thanks all for your nice comments ... I am pleased

Hi Paul , here is short pictures review about production of cement pots http://www.bonsai-dnes.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=490&hilit=betonov%C3%A9 by Pavel Slovak

Patina I make with spirit stain ....

A few other pots and You will perhaps run down Erik. If he doesn´t run away on next level :-)

Tom: I have no ambition to run down anyone He does perfect pots with other design ........
