Pictured here is the pot at the stage I am at now (above). The vine that I am painting is cut in and thorns are cut with a sharp porcupine quill, it is my perfect tool at the moment.

Above picture was taken after 2 days of painting all the species in their windows, I scrape all the black slip away before applying the vines. I know it looks quite nice with the black but that is just the photgraph. My biggest issue now is keeping the thing damp while I finish it. I think another 2 days should see it done.
