I saw an [Instagram reel](https://www.instagram.com/p/DEFlzpxuBUd/) that inspired me to make these little guys. Because I still feel the need to make functional things, I decided to make the little guy hold a container that could be used as a budvase. Or maybe a little potted succulent. Only one has come out from a glaze firing (the last photo). I decided to keep the glaze a simple ivory so that the flowers can stand out more. ![[little fella 01.jpeg]] ![[little fella 02.jpeg]] ![[fella with flowers.jpeg]] Then I made this trio under a tree. The tree trunks were textured using loose bark and the canopy was textured with pinecones. These are things I found on my walk through the Wellington Botanic Garden. I'm planning to fire this in the Wellington Potter's Association's annual anagama. ![[under the tree.jpeg]]
