For the last few years we had been making the green man wall planters which were flat at the back with a curved bowl at the front and a green man face on the front.
At the end of last year we decided to have a change (You have to mix things up a little!). The design we agreed on was a cone shape.
Possibly not shown off to its best effect against a pink wall!! But a cone shape with a hole in the bottom (for drainage) and an ivy pattern. We also tried a smooth version which we glazed.
We really liked the glazed effect so in the end we went for the 2 types, the smooth glazed and the ivy patterned sandy textured planters. So far they have received a positive response, although there has been a few people missing the green man style!
Apologies for the slightly sick looking spider plant used in the following pictures! We have been using pansies in our show displays instead this year as some spider plant rescue has been necessary!
The potter has been busy making some more of these so we will be fully stocked for our next outing!
We will be exhibiting at the Shotley Penisular crafts event over the May bank holiday weekend (and the potter will be there Sunday and Monday demonstrating)
Wow - they look great - the top 3 photos particularly (even the pink wall!). That green man planter has a very direct stare. Does the rim of the planter put his eyes at a different angle - compared to the green man plaques?
