I have been thinking about this all evening yesterday and thinking of all kinds of things I can drape over to achieve different shapes and different depths. Different textures as well. What I like most about this project is the looks of the cloth as it drapes/bends, and the different depths I can obtain using different shapes and different lengths of cloth, and I can paint the pots when they are dry to have more uniform colors in my yard, and it isn't that expensive, so I should be able to make a bunch of pots. Using cloths with different textures might be worth experimenting with.
I also like the idea that this is something I can have some success making without it causing me pain. I have been needing pots of different depths, but haven't been able to find them with the shapes I want. I really get tired of round planters. Planters that are long don't have enough depth and often are too narrow, like those used for window boxes. I had several long planters that were deep in my garden in Denver. I don't have enough planters because I've been looking to buy similar long planters that are deep and have not been able to find them anywhere.
Only negative is that payday is so far away before I can buy cement and paint. Two more weeks. But in the meantime, I can gather more stuff to drape over than just the plastic used pots I got from my neighbor and stuff around the house.
I hope others will do this and make recommendations of the cement water recipe. I had other questions as I thought about it last night, but forgot them.
