We all want to put our fingerprint on our home and when we add a personal touch, like she does, it changes our whole surroundings. I can relate to doing things like this because I have done a lot of these and they change the whole look of my patio…for the better!
I’m all about everything bright and colorful, and, although I have beautiful plants there’s nothing better than making the pots they are planted in pop with color. I believe in keeping everything interesting (and colorful).
It’s amazing what you can do with a clay pot and they can literally be an extension of us and what we love. I painted a bright red pot with all types of colorful flowers on them, then I painted a pot white and painted a colorful design on it that has a Mexican Folk Art look. I love Mexican art, by the way. I’ve got pots with leopard print, a large black on with poppies painted on it and if you look real close you can see a bee on one of the flowers. I have lots of plants so I’m still coming up with new and different designs for my clay pots.
It’s so much fun to express ourselves through art! It gives me a great feeling of accomplishment, and if you haven’t done this, you will understand what I’m talking about when you do.
Watch how Shel C. paints this regular old clay pots and turns them into a work of art. Her step by step tutorial will be just what you need to get started on spiffing up your patio with some color!
