You're very welcome, Nigel!

I was in awe, I love these.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Fantastic! Thanks for this pot summary! I watched the all get made - but this is a great recap!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

It was cool to see them all at once, thank you, Jay!

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Oh my goodness.... Just need a little firing Haha!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Yes, in a tiny little kiln lol

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Nice visit from Nigel with his cool little pots. I always liked these miniature pots of his as well as the mini's from Mrs. Ohno. Handmade pots are the coolest.

[@uhaneokalanijames8029]

yes he most definitely is a potter...lol... the attention to detail in such little pots, man has bonsai really honed his patience for sure and it shows in his little pots...lol i love them all!! thank you for sharing izabela!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

You're very welcome, I was so impressed with what Nigel did, it had to be shared, such natural talent and his patience is tremendous

[@clayeasy]

These pots are great! Thank you for sharing! I love how excited you both are! Carving is so fun! Nice mame pots, Nigel! Cheers from Finland!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Carving, that's the word I was missing lol, I kept calling it chiseling. Finland, wow!

[@Tybold63]

This is so wholesome and love the collaboration with Nigel! You are both such nice and inspirational person. Cheers from Sweden. 😄

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Glad you enjoyed, cheers to you as well! Sweden and I seem to be crossing paths. Perhaps I'll be visiting at some point 🇸🇪

Must be surreal to see the video of pots being crafted, and then they show up at your doorstep. Does this mean the Dragon has finally learned patience? 😋

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Yes, it was so surreal I made into a video! The dragon is still training but will be graduating soon 😉

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

This will make a nice series for you and Nigel. Firing, glazing, etc. So cool. Have you ever done mini's, Izabela? I bet you could sell them and make some money. These little pots for mini bonsai trees are something to see, especially some of the unique designs on them.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

I've done few but I didn't feel drawn to it, Tom. Have you tried?

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

@@gaeangardensbyizabela I never tried. I just buy the pot. Easier for me at my age. I am not that good at pot making or making models. That is why I enjoy watching others make them.

[@hyperionhelios190]

I'm only a little concerned about shrinkage. -Kale

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

No kidding, I hope they won't get lost in my giant kiln 🔍

[@beeinthamix]

Amazingggg!! ❤❤

[@baldyeti]

Looking forward to seeing them fired!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Me too!

[@andersnrregren9087]

Maybe ppl will start to understand mame is not just a small bonsai but a tiny pot to fit it

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

lol that is hilarious

[@Sebastian.1977]

Małe jest piękne 🪹

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Prześliczne 🪹

[@bartstellink307]

Just beautiful, I really love these! Do you sell similar sized pots?

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

They are so special. Mine are much bigger, feel free to check my etsy store, link under my channel description

[@bartstellink307]

Yes, that is why I asked. 😉 I didn't find what I need, but like your style!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

@bartstellink307 thank you for checking and I hope you'll find what you need soon!

[@bartstellink307]

Should I check more often? I would buy them... 😉

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

@@bartstellink307 I am not as good as NIgel at making tiny pots, but I would like to help you. If you'd like, I can make a commission order for you. Email me at [e-mail] and we can talk specifics of what you'd like. I can then do it via my etsy store. I'm about to work with clay again after almost of a year break so I can try tiny pots for you

[@alexandraoud8721]

he sure is a potter......i only make miniatures (1:12)and it is hard to get the details right...will love to see the final result

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

You make miniatures? I never tried it, it seems very difficult to me! Do you have a store or page with your pots?

[@t3dwards13]

I'd say anyone who can successfully make multiple pots, is a Potter. I don't think you'd need to sell them for that classification. Similarly, if I weld a bunch of things for myself, I'd still be a welder.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

I agree with this, it's not about making pottery as a profession but professionally made pots make a person a potter
