Also would these be water tight if you didn't paint them?
I've also totally stolen your hanging s/h glass globe idea and will be making some of those as soon as I get everything I need.
You are a fount of creative inspiration! Thanks!

Thanks for the kind comments. Start to finish, if I had the time to do it straight through, takes me about two hours. You need to knead the clay pretty well before it lends itself to forming. That takes a lot of time. Once it's done though, the pot takes little time to complete. The poly clay is a little sticky so using a mold has proven difficult. However, i lined the mold with foil and it works perfectly.
You do not need to seal this clay. It hardens in the oven and it a polymer so once it hardens using it as a pot will be fine.
