Bonsai Pottery

Well, I was looking for an inexpensive way to either buy or make new Bonsai tree pots.
In my searching I came across this:

This is Bonsai pots made out of a substance called Papercrete. Or newspaper and portland cement mixed together to make a peanut buttery consistent mixture. Which is then poured into a mold and left to harden. Hmmm good idea but how do I make the molds.? So I did some more research and came accross these two links which were very helpful:

and
http://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/pots-f3/homemade-pots-t198.htm

So basically what im saying is for about five dollars (American) you can make a really nice Bonsai tree pot with just a few minutes a days of labor. Im looking at possibl starting my trek on this new hobby next weekend since I wont have the time right now. This will be complete with written instructions and pictures every step of the way..
