These are pictures of my original 1910 planter that I rescued from the dumpster.  It is the inspiration for all of my work.

 Pages from the 1910 publication. This book describes how my original planter was built.  The dimensions are the same and both used  Moravian tiles.   These pages were given to me by Vance Kohler, curator of the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works Museum.

My first wooden mold

My first pvc mold for 9 inch planter. It replaced worn-out wooden mold.

First success! Note one of many failures on right.
