Pot and plant combinations
Attended the Sacramento Cactus and Succulent show on May 2nd-3rd. The following photos are plants I've raised and the pots I made that were my entries into the event.
These 3 pots were the most talked about at the show, even the pottery vendors were interested in how I made them
The Petopentia is still my favorite combination of those entries. The stretched pot is so cool. It is almost cartoonish, a caricature of a pot distorted by the sheer age and mass of that fattie! I can see why the terra sigillata pot is so popular, it really was perfectly executed and flawlessly matched to that plant. Still, I like the rough, decaying aesthetic of some of your other pots better.
