A lot of pottery people here like to make lei vases (for single flowers you might find on the ground, etc.) I’ve always avoided making them before, but I finally jumped on the lei vase train…
Below are two of my favorites:
These are wheel-thrown and then hand-carved. It’s a high-fire slightly grey-ish porcelain clay body.
Cat theme! I carved little cats into the design on this one all around the outside.
Your carving work is gorgeous! I’ve never heard of such vases, but I love the idea and I love both of these vases you’ve created. I’m so glad you did jump in the lei vase train so we can all enjoy seeing these lovely works of art!
I went out and found some plumerias on the ground to get some “action shots.” They’re fun because they can be a centerpiece or whatever by themselves, but can also have just a flower or two, or be full of them!
**also me over here realizing that it’s now autumn for a lot of you, so this probably seems out of place compared to the northern hemisphere seasonal trends….
