Great work Rick I just finished a 16" pot, and my creative energy flowed like magic.

I love to sculpt and now I don't need to fire anything. I will be experimenting w/ color as soon as my piece is dry.

Good on ya.

I taught a class how to make these leafs and one of the participants used a banana leaf, from a plant she had in her house. You might be able to get a big leaf from a garden center or a botanical garden. If you cant find a real leaf you can also use one from Hobby Lobby or a store like that. Good luck let me know how it turns out.

Would love to try this if I can find someone with a large leafed plant. I live in the desert so that may be a problem. I like the videos of yours that I've seen so far. Most of them are numbered so I can watch them in order but couldn't find the de-molding of your trough pt 1. I'll look around some more.
