After years of 20+ years of wanting a good tree tattoo I realised that the stability of the ground/earth gives a tree it’s grounding and visual strength unless it’s floating or a branch in mist etc.
I’ve been playing around with precarious container designs that can hopefully deal with nebaris that won’t sit flat and add a little more tension to the composition if needed. It’s all fun and work in progress sorry if it’s a messy first post. Thanks for everything Mirai crew

@WelshBarry I like very much the combination of “finished” ceramic and “rough” aspect, like if the ceramic was emerging from earth, or a volcano. I like particularly the one on the pic ending with -948. Nice inspiration! Continue the good work!

Fantastic! Is it cement for the bases?
Thanks @Diabolo I’m still learning the basics of ceramics but I have a ton of shapes in my head, It started out wanting some instability or backstory to the shape of the a tree.
Thanks @Pierre-Antoine The gas kiln is definitely a winner for randomness, Ive been doing alot of sagger gas firing which have turned out great, almost wood fired looking with more colours.
If you ever need to make some space in your workshop, or need extra cash for a Christmas… 
… Let me know please!
