Large Pot for plants or household items This Pot is approximately 14" tall and has a 14" diameter. Designed for use as a planter and can be filled with soil, dirt, and other growing mediums. You can also store umbrellas, canes, toys, or other household items in it. Can be used outside or inside. It will resist weather including rain, direct sun, wind, etc. You can clean it simply by handwashing it with warm water. This design has a single stripe around the middle. Please specify which color you would like! It is artisinaly handmade by Russell Simpson in Bend, Oregon. This product is made entirely from reused waste products! Approximately 200 used plastic bags were cut, spun into yarn, and woven around about 14 plastic bottle strips to create this pot. No plastic is melted or burned to create these Pots. There is no tape or wire either. The pots are woven and the plarn is tied with beautiful knots. Each Pot is handmade with unique reused materials and therefore is a unique artistic creation. They will have slight differences & variations from the specific pot shown in the photo. If the pot is full with soil, we recommend supporting the bottom while lifting, but they are easy to shift around in your garden. These pots 'breathe' very well and have excellent water drainage. They contain soil, even sandy mediums, very well, but if you are growing plants indoors and concerned about dripping you can simply add a plastic bag liner to the inside.

I am a 3 dimensional sculptor of functional art. I work in many materials including wood, stone, steel, and plastics, with modern tools like 3D Printing, laser cutting, and CNC routing, in both the workshop and virtual spaces with VR sculpting software, 3D CAD, & BIM.

I am working on building projects with clients that will improve our world. We need to design things with respect to their social, environmental, and economic impact. This ranges from recycling and manufacturing plastics at home to carefully designing furniture for people & animals that really improves their quality of life, while minimizing their environmental cost.

I am a Master of Architecture, life long sculptor, speaker of Japanese, German, and English, and dedicated to building excellent projects for my clients!

I had a very specific custom project on a tight deadline and Russell was able to deliver something special. Communication was great and timely and the finished product exceeded expectations.

I had an idea for a creative piece of art but lack the personal talent to create it myself. I didn't know if a custom piece would be achievable within my budget. Russell accepted the challenge and delivered what I was looking for in a timely and budget friendly manner. He was professional and easy to work with. I am looking forward to delivering this unique birthday gift to the recipient.

Working with Russell was very easy, he provided examples and test designs before approving of the final design. The oragami sculptures turned out amazing! They were shipped very safe and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Russell!
