Transformations with Life #16 (Raku and Living Eucalyptus)

I made this abstract vessel many years ago and I’ve never published a picture of, I think. I was in a dark place when I made it and didn’t really like it at first. It has moved around with me and gradually has found itself in more visible places. I recently had it in a certain lighting that made me just fall in love with it. When I started growing plants in some of my pieces, this one yelled across the house: “ME TOO!”

I’ve been wondering what to put in it. I had considered grape vines, a small pine tree, a. creeping cactus, then I found the eucalyptus you see in the picture. It seemed to need something to compliment it’s beautiful coloured leaves. It’s almost as if they called to each other.
