In my garden I have many plants in pots, all are on the ground, I wanted to renew my garden and it occurred to me to create bases to the pot to test how they would look, here I show the first result:

Materials
-Washer motor base.
-Paintings.
-Allen keys (To mark the points)
-Drill.
-Flower pot.
-A garden plant.
Process
I took an old washing machine motor base that was in my dad's workshop and cleaned it, then I painted it a white shade and left it for a while in the sun to dry.
I took the motor base to my work table, so I could decorate it more comfortably. I was marking points of paint along the metal legs, creating patterns that were flowing from my mind.
The simple patterns made them more complex as I was marking more points of different colors and sizes. I wanted to give a different look to each leg of the base.
Within the larger points I marked yellow dots of smaller size, this gave light to the other tones.
I started a different design on another of the legs of the base.
An aerial view of the base with its different designs in process in each of the legs.
I painted the center circle of the base using two shades of green. Here you have an aerial, frotal and lateral view of the culminated base.
With the base completed, just needed to prepare the pot, so I took a container of clay and with the help of a drill I opened three holes in the bottom, so that when planting the plant had a drain duct. I think drilling the clay was the hardest part of all this.
Final result
I took fresh earth, planted the plant and put it on the base that had previously decorated, and the result was beautiful. Perhaps nobody was thinking that an old washing machine motor base could be turned into a wonderful base for pots.
