Artsy Fartsy: Pots

I know I have been on a roll lately with this artsy fartsy stuff.  My hubby is probably saying, I wish she would find time to do the dishes.  


So I have been working on painting my terra cotta pots.  I had purchased a plain terra cotta pot from the nursery just own the street from us called Rosie's Gardens.  And was inspired by the painted pots and decided that I could paint my own.  So I did.  And here is the artsy fartsy proof.

First, I sprayed the pots with a spray bottle with a concrete stain.

First I used a color called patena.  AKA blue.

After letting that dry at least an hour.  Or in my case, a day.  I have limited time to do little projects with 3 kids and nap times only last so long.  Plus I had to get to those dishes ;-)

Then I sprayed a gray color on the pots.  Again allowing them to dry at least an hour. Or a couple of days ;-)

I decided it just wasn't enough.  I needed more on the pots.  So I painted some paisley and flowers on the pots using some stencils.

To finish them up, I sprayed them with a clear coat for a water-resistant finish.  And a little shine.

And walla!!  Artsy Fartsy Pots.  

I will post some pictures once I get some fun flowers in them!

Have you been artsy fartsy lately??
