Post #4683089

I want to make a succulent dish garden and I found a nice terra cotta bowl shaped pot at Walmart but it just looks too new. Does anyone have suggestions for a neat way to "age" the pot so it looks a little more rustic? I thought about making a hypertuffa one, but I'm not sure how to get the shape right but that's kind of the look I want. I wonder if I could coat the outside with some mortar compound somehow? Would it stick to the terra cotta?
Any suggestions very much appreciated!
Deb
