I sometimes make a very small copy of a larger bowl I've just finished,
complete with Big Bowl decoration and banding. When I saw several
displays on the walls in the Arvada Art Center at NCECA of just such
small pots (not really miniatures) shown in old wooden coca-cola cases,
I decided to do the same. I now have one authentic, beat up (makes it
better) case, which my watercolor mentor gave me in exchange for a
couple of pots from my UglyPotSpot. I was fooling around with pot
arrangments when a friend who owns a gift boutique visited the studio
... she offered a fair sum of money for the whole arrangement... I
didn't sell, and won't, but somebody else might want to consider this
idea..... or has it been around forever and is only new to me?
