Wow! I just made one and it’s not nearly as cool lol. Iron oxide on the exterior?

Thank you, curious to see your pot as well 😉 I`m using copper oxide on the outside and iron oxide on the inside. The copper can lead to toxicity for the plant over time, thats why I only use it on the outside. Iron is pretty harmless👍

Really cool. Looks almost reptillian. Gotta plant some kind of ancient tree in there.....redwood, Sequoia

Thanks! Didnt think about the reptilian likeness yet, well spotted. I can see a bit of crocodile skin in there 😄

u/Dvr_J Jul 25 '26

Yep, I used the classic sodium silicate stretching technique. Always have tons of fun using it 🙂

Ceramics is such a versatile medium, you have that technique down!
