Homestone Imports Creates Fantastic Stone Containers

by Leave a Comment

There’s nothing more beautiful than taking pieces of the Earth, and transforming them into amazing creations. These creations are even more magnificent when they’re handcrafted by real people, and not mass manufactured by machines in a factory.

Homestone Imports makes marvelous stone containers and fountains that are perfect for decorating a garden or any outdoor area.

Their stone containers are handcrafted on the island of Bali, in the country of Indonesia. Each piece is made with the highest quality stone pieces, and handcrafted with durability and longevity in mind.

With Homestone Imports, your customers can select a number of different patterns and natural stones.

Their pebble pots are made from smooth stones, and are available in a variety of colors, including tan, rose, jade, and white pebbles.

Marble tile pots are available, too, and come in rose-wet, rose-dry, tan-wet, and tan-dry.

Next, is their slate selection, which comes in two varieties: broken slate and slate tile. Each pot from the broken slate variety is unique, thanks to the randomness of each broken piece’s size and shape. The slate tile pots are more uniformed, but are still unique thanks to the variety of colorations available on the slate tiles.

Homestone Imports pots come in a variety of sizes, from small to large, so your customers can find the exact size they need for their backyard improvement project or garden rejuvenation plan.

When you think of high quality and beautiful natural stone pots, think of Homestone Imports!

Ellie Pots Inc.: Heating It Up!

by Leave a Comment

It’s difficult to find anything truly unique in this day and age. I can eat a burger at a fast food restaurant in California, hop a plane to New York and, once I land, find the same restaurant and eat the same burger all over again. It is packaged and sold to each of us as a model of reliability and consistency, but is that lack of variety always a good thing? I’m not so sure.

Blue Crystalline Bowl
Let’s face it, we live in a an overly processed, mass-produced world. It starts with the food we eat and extends to the very products we buy. Whether decoration, food or furniture, everything tastes, smells and looks exactly like everything else. There’s precious little originality to be had and even less personality. In an industry supposedly driven by consumer demand, we are led to believe that this is what the buyer wants. And yet, without a doubt, there is a consistently swelling market for uniqueness.

The Value of Different

Every day, more and more consumers are interested in finding something that sets them apart from the crowd. These customers aren’t remotely interested in having the same decorations and styles exhibited by their neighbor, they want something different, something better. Identical items produced by machines to be mimeographed copies of one another are no longer enough. Now it’s important to carry items that allow your customer to fulfill their desire to be unique.

There are sources for products out there that fill this niche, and one of them is Ellie Pots Inc., a company that produces high quality, hand-crafted crystalline pottery. You know it’s different because any hand-crafted item, even when created by the most skilled of craftsman, will be one-of-a-kind. One may be similar to that which came before, but no two will ever be exact duplicates. There will always be some fluctuation in temperature that causes a minor difference in color tint or a shift on the wheel effecting a slight change in shape that gives each piece a unique personality.

The Poetry of Craftsmanship
Horse Hair Raku

With over 10 years of experience, Ellary Blair personally designs and creates each piece of crystalline pottery with an eye toward quality and craftsmanship. Graduating from the University of Kansas in 2002, Ellary earned a BFA and decided that crystalline pottery was the area she wished to pursue. At that moment, Ellie Pots Inc. was born.

Now Ellary creates beautiful pieces that are all but ordinary. She offers tiles, vases, bowls, ornaments and now even lamps! Ellary’s most proud of her line of horse hair raku items. This process uses actual horse hair! When the hair is applied to a recently fired piece, the hair leaves black marks anywhere it has touched and the result is simply breathtaking.

If you are interested in purchasing some truly one-of-a-kind items for your shop that your customers will adore, contact Ellary Blair at Ellie Pots Inc.!
