Love your designs, they look like the side of cactus. I haven't found if you show how you painted them yet but that is what they look like to me! Glad you followed up with what you used and your designs. Thanks.
Looks good, but I would seal them and make drainage holes. Cacti still need drainage even if they don't need as much water as other plants. Depending on how hot it gets, it might need more watering than if it's in a cooling area. People think cacti are just a set it and forget it mist it once in a blue moon sort of plant and they do their best to survive but if you water it once a week or so, you'll get flowers at flowering time. :) I get mine in the spring. :)
@@judifoster8 apologies for the massive delay! good call - I sit a plastic pot with holes for drainage, into the little clay pot, so they don't get damp enough here to need sealing x
I loved this video! If you put the cacti in, will the clay dissolve when the cacti are watered? I'm looking into learning ceramics (at home!) but have no kiln!!! Thanks in advance
Hai your video is interesting. I made one with das paper clay and i try to put the bowl to the water. And its wrecked. Can you give me about the care instruction of the bowl? Or which air dry clay that i can use to make a bowl?
Hey! Anyone have tips for keeping the clay from sinking? I made a pot I was happy with, and then it sunk and lost its shape completely. I’m using Nara air dry clay.
Apologies for not replying sooner, and what a brilliant question... now - yes, we left the pots in the rain to water them, big mistake - they did get wet/soft , but we brought them inside and they've dried out nicely so no harm done!
Waseem Imam Saheb Yes! For dry food at least, for water and wet food I wouldn't do it unless the clay is safely waterproofed and also only if it didn't release any chemicals

belated thanks for this! We need to make some more as the kitten has broken lots of them!
cnith2 I came here to ask about drainage holes and sealing! I'll manage a drainage holes but I'm at odds with what to seal it with.🤔

Oh my goodness, they are LOVELY! Love the detail on the outside!!
thanks Maggy, we really enjoyed experimenting with this one.. x
Lovely video did you seal them at all
I didn't seal them, thank you for asking - you know, they stayed on the mantlepiece quite safely until we got a kitten - enough said! :)
@@AliClifford Thankyou for your prompt reply
Thank you for sharing. Would you consider making a larger pot? X
Yes definitely - it’s an “outer” decorative pot so yes would go bigger for sure

so many apologies for not replying sooner, as cacti need little or no water, they are fine x
good luck with your crafting!
Thank you very much for your reply. I'm only just starting so due to my delay, this response came at a perfect time!
Love the effect made with the pens Ali x
thank you, there are so many things you can do!!
Oh you are clever. I like the pen dimpled effect x
Hey Elinor, thank you so much, I've nothing on CeramicMagpie though eh?! x

With white cement
How can I construct a gigantic pot about 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide?
Love these little pots!
oh thank you!
Thank you for this video 😊
Do they hold up with water? Like does water your plants damage the pot?
These are so lovely
ah thank you!

oh no! that's gutting, I wonder if it dried too quickly? or not quick enough... perhaps it needs propping up or put it on a plastic pot for a mould??
Thank you for this amazing video. I didn't really have an actual mold, wanted it a little off and distorted. Great video! 🙂
ah thank you!
what clay are you using ? if you dont me ask ?do i have to bake it ?
hello :) this is air-drying clay so no baking required
What kind of clay? Is there a link?
Very nice and easy. But No follow up video?
hi, whats going to happen when you add water? will it dissolve?
Apologies for not replying sooner, and what a brilliant question... now - yes, we left the pots in the rain to water them, big mistake - they did get wet/soft
, but we brought them inside and they've dried out nicely so no harm done!
I applied wax coating on mine and then sprayed clear coat. I will see how it holds up.
good plan!
2:35 THAT POOR CACTUS XD
would it be safe to make a pet feeding bowl for my cat with this ?
Waseem Imam Saheb Yes! For dry food at least, for water and wet food I wouldn't do it unless the clay is safely waterproofed and also only if it didn't release any chemicals
