Hi #gardenshour from sunny South Africa! We had our first wonderful spring rain this weekend. So grateful.
I'm sharing pictures of a clivia garden our gardening club visited last month.

A quick search brought it up. I am also thinking of making a garden sculpture and considering different structures. How did Brancusi stack his units?

Strength to you. I also woke up at 3, then decided to join my friends on a short hike at 5. Came back refreshed by nature.

I am modelling three conceptual houses I designed, in terracotta clay. They are scale 1:250 before firing. The trees must still be fired. The last house is under construction.

I started a terrarium with moss from my garden. I planted it in coarse sterilised sand, moisturised with water and yoghurt. Can anyone tell me how this will end? 😱

Really impressive. I am all for slow and amazing processes, stretching the medium to its limits. Been making my own paper clay. Paper pulp mixed with terracotta slip and left to dry a bit. Then scraped out thinly with a palette knife. This mini dish is still unfired.

It still needs to be glazed. I am thinking matt translucent glaze, but I feel like the design is not quite done yet. What is it that is lacking? Suggestions?

Pottery planters I have made since August. There is another one which is a larger version of the first, and being fired at the moment. 🌱

This is a toad tree, endemic to subtropical South Africa. It makes a great house plant.
But maybe your pot is a bit small... 😂

I made three soap dishes. It took two days 😭 but they are perfect. The clay is still drying. I think I will glaze them matte white. I love white #pottery
