Great eyes Mo. I moistened that particular branch limb and wired in downward a bit to add more balance. I'm hoping that I can remove the wire after a time.

funny you should mention that. I really didn't notice or think of that pot as having "spring" feel to it. But kept thinking something was just not consistant with this image... Now I know why.. A plan white pot would have been better. (but I had this one laying around and I didn't think I would ever use it for anything else)

The funny thing is that this whole thing started because I needed the unglazed brown pot that happened to be shollower and wider for another project.

I'll try to work some digital magic to we what it would have been like. This was pot the forest was orginally in...
