  This is a special pot designed for a tree that needs to be potted sideways or highly angled with the top roots protected against the upper portion of the pot.
 With the tree foliage coming out the shallow end, the pot is balanced not to tip. Its is also very cool and quite difficult to make.
 There is an internal strong wire form within every part of this pot.  The material is a concrete like substance which I have developed.
This pot, with a nice large bonsai,  will look like the tree is coming out of a rock sideways, which a lot of our yamadori do.
Some may call this a half moon pot , but its more like a rock from the mountains

Exterior: 15" x 12"  height on low end is 4", high end 8"

Process: The internal structure of this pot is sculptor's wire that Linda formed into shape by hand. Then pigmented concrete like material was applied by hand. This pot is relatively light for a slab of this size,  yet very strong. There is internal wire structure in every part of the pot. The base color of is throughout the entire pot. So that way if you were ever to chip it, the color in not just in the top layer, but  all the way through. 


About me and my pots: I have been a bas-relief sculptor and painter for 30 years. In 2021 I started to delve into bonsai and was instantly hooked. Combining sculpture, my knowledge of natural earth pigments and bonsai was just a natural thing. I  love unique bonsai making pots and slabs!
