I feel really , REALLY strongly about winter Green . Here ’s why :
For me , it ’s not even about panache . I hope everyone expend their right judgement to give them a look they wish . I do n’t want to criticize expressive style , in Part 2 I ’ll show you some pots that are n’t my style , but are tote bag well done !
With wintertime pot the imitation pas are not about stylus . normally it looks like someone did n’t care or race out of time , materials or fingers ( look out those pruners ! ) or were possibly on bath saltiness ( might be moot style ? ) . The golden ruler for pots ? Make it appear intentional .

“ Yeah , I made it expect like thison purpose “
Case closed .
Here are some pitiful pots , some sadder than others , to illustrate that point . Are these how the maker destine them to look ? Did homeowners make them , or landscape gardener ? A Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree died for this . Make it count .

I snapped these photos while walking around downtown on luncheon , I do n’t know any of these people and I sure as poop did n’t make thier pots .
What do you think ?

Classicly bad. Short on enough materials to make it stand up right, the ubiquitous white painted sticks fade into the background…. Accents shouldn’t be dolloped on in one spot, like whipped cream…
