I have a confession.
Yes, I am obsessed with recycling, lotus and Buddha  and this post is a combination of recycling and lotus obsession.
My husband had a sudden desire of drinking naturally cold water of a clay pot last summer. So we got this black pot but it had some leakage problem so was lying unused. Then one day I just picked it up and without even a proper plan in my mind I just painted it blue. Then it was lying like that for a week because I had no clue about what to do on it. Then my obsession with lotus came to rescue and I painted a blue lotus on it. It was looking very beautiful and suddenly it became 'pot full of happiness' :) A bit emptiness was still there or something was missing so one pink lotus came to give it a company and it was sheer joy to see theses blooming beauties on the pot. Pink one became my favorite. Getting dried and getting ready to get a coat of protective layer so that I can use this pot as a planter and can keep it outside as well. Here is a complete look. Adding cheer and pop of color to my balcony garden. A closer look. Looks mesmerizing whenever I look at this pot. Lotuses look so real and happy. Enjoy some more views of the pot :) It looks wonderful indoors.................. as well as outdoors......... I have a beautiful baby pink Bougainvillea that I'll plant in this pot. That will be icing on a cake and all of you wonderful readers you just stay tuned to see whether bougainvillea will add the charm to pot or pot will enhance the beauty of bougainvillea :) Will be a fun to see that!! Till then you can suggest me a nice and appropriate name for this pot :)
