    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. :)

      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.🤔

      @@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 didn't seal them, thank you for asking - you know, they stayed on the mantlepiece quite safely until we got a kitten - enough said! :)

      Yes definitely - it’s an “outer” decorative pot so yes would go bigger for sure

    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

      so many apologies for not replying sooner, as cacti need little or no water, they are fine x
      good luck with your crafting!

    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.

    • @AliClifford
      @AliClifford  Месяц назад

      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??

    hi, whats going to happen when you add water? will it dissolve?

    • @AliClifford
      @AliClifford  7 лет назад

      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!

    • @girlyguineapiggies1171

      I applied wax coating on mine and then sprayed clear coat. I will see how it holds up.

      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
