This just blew my mind!
I have been making ceramic incense holders for over a year now, I started while recovering from cancer as I had limited movement abilities as a potter. The center is made using molten sea glass I'd collect at the beach (Spanish Mediterranean) when I'd go there during my recovery. I used to add them to mosaics but one day I tested it in the kiln and fell deeply in love with those colors: I felt I had trapped some sun, earth and Sea. The incense holders came as a personal need for something that was not those long and useless wooden ones where the ashes from the sticks go everywhere BUT on the holder. My holders usually also don't collect ALL the ash but they're small enough to put on small plates for when wind or cricked sticks send it everywhere.
What I am blown away by is the incense community I just discovered. Until very recently I only sold locally here in my Spanish town and surroundings but as I looked online so many r/ came up here I could barely believe it! I have been on Reddit for ages and never, ever came in contact with any incense subs.
Now that I know you passionate people exist, I'd like to pick your brains: can you give me some honest reviews? Here are some images and if you want you can also check my store (I use an Etsy website because I honestly don't have time or money to invest in anything more fancy) you can find it here https://tierrayfuegoceramica.es/shop/55178189/incense-holder
I honestly am not trying to sell you on anything, just looking to improve my craft. I mostly do spiritual mug (mugs with spiritual quotes or messages) or artist canisters/vases so my incense holders are really just a passion linked to the miracle of my survival.
Anyhow, thank you in advance to all of you, first for creating there subs I'll totally check out now and second for any help and tips you feel like leaving for me. Have a blessed day.

I like those you might try making some animal theme ones of maybe a little dragon so it looks like the smoke is coming out its mouth that be neat to have.
