Now that I've written that, I'm thinking about what some of Emeril's
seasoning mixes would do for texture on a pot.

I made a large pot and then a smaller pot based on photos of dried
poppy seed pods. Last night, I cut lids in the pots, then attached a
little strip of clay to hold the lid where it should be. I had a few
problems to work out because I cut the lids at the top where the lid
is rounding up to become enclosed. Hmmmm..... must bend little bit of
clay backwards to accommodate the curve of the inside of the lid.

That done, I decided I needed to kill about a half hour, and made a
smaller seed pod with wrapped bits of clay inside to form a rattle.

Usually, I've been told to work from small to large. This time, I did
it backward working for large to small to smaller. Interesting process.
