No rules! Unusual way of making a one of a kind bonsai pot

How to expand your creativity and make something unexpected? Let yourself play without expectations, forgetting the rules and being present with what is happening, reacting to what you are creating as if you are seeing it for the first time- because you are! In this wonder, you can feel free of judgment of what you are doing and the results may be surprising. Sometimes projects don't work out but you gain the experience and knowledge about yourself, your medium and the process. In this way you can stay fresh in your creations and grow as a person and as an artist.

fantastic! absolutely love it! 🐦💙

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Thank you Jay! Your encouragement of my free creations really helped me to follow my intuition and make this pot 💙

Fantastic pot Izabela, I really have a high level of appreciation for this pot as i make bonsai pots from natural stone. I spend alot of time searching, inspecting and visualizing the stones as finished pots before spending hours hollowing with a grinder and diamond drilling drainage holes and grooves. My passion for the natural look is deep and i wanted to express how much i like you creativity and finished pot.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Scott the stone pots you're making sound awesome, to find interesting rocks and put them together- what patience you have for your vision

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

I think, Izabela, that you are the Grand Master of the pottery world. One cool pot.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Glad you like the pot Tom! Thank you

Great stuff, I do like unusual!

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Thank you Ron!

[@Tybold63]

Very interesting pot and the well described thinking for all the steps. Your voice is also an asset as I appreciate the low key but still entertaining tone (if that makes sense) , Cheers from Sweden

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Thank you Tybold, I'm glad you've enjoyed my voice and the pot making

[@DrunkBonsai]

Very good content. You deserve a much larger following. I'm going to watch this a dozen times, because my first couple of attempts at a pot like this were quite mediocre.

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

That's sweet to hear, I hope it can inspire you to have fun with it. We can be quite harsh judges of our creations, maybe for you they are "mediocre" but for someone else they are great? If there's anything you'd like to see or hear here on my channel, let me know! It's fulfilling for me to inspire others

I love not having rules!!! Just like science and many other things in life, experimenting is how new discoveries are made. Have you decided weather to glaze your new creation?

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

I haven't decided but most likely unglazed, perhaps a stain or oxide, we'll see once it's bisqued!

spirit pot

[@desertpotter1003]

Very nice, I need to try that, it looks fun. How did it look after the glazing?

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Give it a try if it calls to you, I'd love to hear how it turned out. I haven't glazed it yet, I've been away from the studio since making it but will post an update when it's ready, thank you!

[@sbragaglia]

Amazing Izabela! Another beautiful pot! How do you plan to glaze it? Or are you going to leave it unglazed?

[@gaeangardensbyizabela]

Thank you Stefano! I'm thinking of leaving it as is, it is made out of that dark granite clay that will look like a rock after firing. Maybe I'll add an oxide or stain? Not sure yet!
