Concrete planter pots

Here's a photo of the three pots I have made using three different techniques:

My favorite is the one in the foreground holding a Letica Fig cutting.  (Our only successful cutting in two years of attempts.)  This pot was made by soaking old pieces of blue jean material in a Portland cement slurry and draping it over an existing plastic pot.  The end result is not very heavy, especially when compared to the two larger pots in the background.
The one on the left is basically a thick ferrocement made by coating chicken wire inside and out with a Portland cement/sand/charcoal fines/ and wood ash.  The pot on the right used hundreds of little domino size pieces stacked in circles and covered with stucco to give a smooth appearance. I probably won't use this technique again because it took hours and hours.   Donna inserted marbles in some of the depressions to create more of a "work of Art".  This pot weighs much more than the one with the Fig plant.
Last Winter, I created the framework out of chicken wire for a much larger container, and yesterday I applied a batch of cement to the bottom.  Today, I did  the sides. Here's a photo of the work in progress.

After this sets up a bit, I can do something with the rim of the pot.  I'm considering soaking cotton cloth from old jeans in a Portland cement slurry and sticking them over the top of the rim to smooth out the edges and add some thickness.  (I think a thicker rim looks better.)  Also do a thin finish coat over all surfaces, inside and out.
April 9, 2019  Today I did the finish coat (in two batches) consisting of fine sand and Portland Cement applied with a trowel and then brushed with an old paint brush.

April 10th:  Mixed up another small batch of sand and Portland Cement and finished the inside and then turned the pot upside down and put 3 gobs on to serve as feet.
