Decorated Pots

[smallhobbit]

I went to the first of this year's Dare to Dabble sessions today, which was for decorated plant pots.

We began with four ceramic pots, of slightly different sizes



which we could decorate how we liked: painting, sticking on buttons and jewels, mosaics, decoupage, winding string or wool around.  I decided to begin by painting my two larger pots.



Then I added some white clouds to the blue pot



and some boats

   

I added flowers to the green pot

   

And since I'd enjoyed the painting so much, I decided to paint the other two pots as well:



And go modern art.

So here is Family Values

   

and Noughts and Crosses

   

All of which was great fun!

Lovely and cheerful! The green one with the flowers is my favourite =D

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I like the green one too - because I'm just painting as I fancy I can never be sure how things will turn out, but I was pleased with the green one.

Looks like fun. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Pretty pots!

It was great fun - I could wield a paintbrush and come up with something satisfying. Thank you!

Playing catch up once again after a crazy couple of weeks at work. Decorating plant pots is such a great idea! It really opens up a lot of creative possibilities. You chose some beautiful colours for your pots. I really like the cloud and boat motif on the largest pot. Your modern art pots also turned out well. I love Naughts and Crosses.

Decorating plant pots was fun - I do like using bright colours. My husband planted narcissi in the cloud and boat pot and they're starting to flower, which is lovely.
