This is water storage pot number two in the orchard garden. The build took place over several months as time and weather permitted.
New techniques and strategies were employed, skills were refined, areas of weakness were identified and strengthened. Creative and physical energies manifested something new and useful.
It was suggested that the pot be given a name (a Japanese name).
Meet The Gatherer (Shūshū-sha)
Some minor finish and touch-up work to do but, The Gatherer, Shūshū-sha, is functional and in service.
So beautiful! Perfect name!
ReplyDeleteThat is fucking cooooool! And so much more engineered than I would have thought!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Quite the project. Practical AND a piece of art! Love it…Auntie
ReplyDeleteWow Melina! That is very cool and creative. I enjoy all the new things you come up with and create. Perfect name. Gatherer
ReplyDeleteIt's a work of art plain and not so simple, but beautiful. Great work, sis!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Love you niece! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking--the name "Gatherer" is exemplary! And it's true--it's complexity masquerading as simplicity. Where did you get the idea from? It combines the esthetics of art and the science of conservation of the natural environment. Like everyone else, I like what you have accomplished and thank you for sending the pictures along with the explanation, without which what it is and what its purpose is would be unknown.
ReplyDeleteI can't claim the idea for the gatherer. I actually regret sharing this post because I can see now how it looks like I am calling attention to something I have done. I haven't done anything. My sharing is more like calling someone's attention to something as one might when on a walk...like "look at that flower!" or "check out that neat bird!"
DeleteSuper impressed! Super impressive!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the commenters, in particular Aischa, who hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteMelina, you're unnecessarily, but typically, modest.
