#kusamonopots

work in progress! Several custom order planters and spares that will end up for sale! These got some terra sigillata (at least the blue and green ones did!) then bisque fired, now they're waiting for glaze! #whistlingfishpottery #custompottery #bonsaipots #kusamonopots #succulentpot #bonsaiaccent #handmadehome #terrasigillata #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJ6WkKLzlR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Guess I have some glazing to do now! Normally my work makes up a small part of a kiln load, but this time its more like half the load! Lots of #bonsaipots, #accentpots, #kusamonopots, #tinyplates, a custom order from before things went nuts, and some ferfunsies slip trailed pots. #whistlingfishpottery #workinprogress #experimental #customorder #handbuiltceramic #handmadehome #leafplate https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gbg7ADm_3/?igshid=1od3p963w981h

. . The last one out of the 3 #Kusamono. . . This was and is not my favourite one. It was just junked up together. Still offers a rustic look, as long as it grows and thrives, and till it does... let me enjoy the transformations!!! . . One more new thing happening...work is going on. Garden Art is excessively addictive!!!! . . #kusamonopots #kusamonolovers #kusamonoart #gardeninghobby #gardenart #gardeninspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LvU0yFR9_/?igshid=1j8spk7y9hhyb

. . • Kusamono • Moss Art • . . Kusamono, another Japanese plant art; it denotes the use of humble everyday plants for creating artwork. . These are aesthetics arrangement of plants to create a landscape design or feel. . . For me it's a therapy to create them and to display them, click them. I have been instinctively doing these ever since I was a child. It's only now after the internet has taken over I have begun to realise and get information about things which I know but didn't know. . Now it's a good feeling to know that people practice this as a hobby world over, and we even have the social media platforms to display, to discuss , to learn more and develop more artistic capabilities. . All in all, it's great fun, it's therapeutic!!! . . #Kusamono #kusamonopots #wabikusa #mosslove #mossgarden #mossgardening #hobbygardening #gardeninghobby #instaplants #indoorgardening #indianhomegarden #plantsofbangalore #plantphotography #planta #plantslover #gardengrove #gardeninspiration #diygardening https://www.instagram.com/p/B3J9M0kFH_r/?igshid=4nr3z6dlgdmg

. . • Art in Bathroom • Moss Landscapes • Kusamono • Simple Living Art • . . So I created this Eco-system for the bathrooms a few weeks back. . . #Kusamono . . Living Art for bathrooms . . The velvety green moss came from the Coastal regions (thanks to a lovely friend @sumalvarai )... The flora (and fauna) in the #moss had so much to offer, especially those miniature 🍀 Maidens hair ferns. I arranged them in these #kusamonopots and they looked like surreal landscapes! . . The benefits are many. The moss does its bio-filteration process and cleans up air. This bathroom window faces the main road, so the pollution entering inside the home will be thwarted as much as it's capacity. The moisture and humidity in the bathroom will offer the mini-landscape it's benefits, and a little shower of water from the spray done manually would wash down trapped dust...a complete ecosystem! . . And added beauty! . . (More pics to come, cannot resist from posting the mini beauties that have been clicked) . . #ecogardening #ecosensitive #ecoart #ecogarden #ecofriendly #eco #kusamono #kusamonoindia #kusamonoart #kusamonolovers #apartmentgardens #apartmentsinbangalore #apartmenttherapy #smallgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Jbntxlf-G/?igshid=1p8bi4agitudz

. . • Kusamono • Garden Art • Bonsai Accompaniment • Japanese Art • Garden Accents • Miniature Garden • Mini Plants • Natural Art • Sustainable Art • . . Kusamono is practiced as another art form, and popular in several parts of the world and originated from Japan. Kusamono translates to 'Grass Thing', because natural and unusual grasses were initially used in this art form. Now the art practice uses other unusual plants to create this artwork. . . I was doing #Kusamono since many years and did not know this term or that it is an art form. For me it was yet another instinctive work of creating beauty, to do something in the garden that appeals to my heart, just to be consumed in the joy of growing and gardening. I called them Miniature Garden till I knew it was a worldwide practiced art form. Thanks to the advent of internet and social media, especially Instagram. . . One of the other thing about the Kusamono trend worldwide is the unique containers it uses. From glazed handmade pottery to usual terracotta ones, or any natural elements picked up from Mother Nature, stone, a cup shaped seed, bark , twigs anything for ones imagination to compile a Kusamono. . . In this compilation, I have used a natural Arecanut shell which is halved (I am a collector of such bizzare stuff 😉) , I have used moss and a tiny plant of 🍀Maiden Hair Fern . . I am waiting for my stars to align well with me to learn pottery!!! This is on top of my bucket list. I speak to @betsy_gomez of @lahe_lahe_pottery often indicating to her that I will be her pupil one day soon. . . #kusamonopots #kusamonoart #maidenhairfern #kusamonoart #kusamonobonsai #kusamonoindia #bonsailove #gardenlover https://www.instagram.com/p/B2oa14Dl3n1/?igshid=c96ovd37hoc0
