Lady Bug Flower Pot

18 years ago

I really like doing mosaics on terra cotta flower pots-This is one I did about a year ago and sold at a gardeners workshop.

    That's really cute! What do you do to your pot to prep it?
    What adheisive do you use? I tried making some without doing anything and using weldbond...well, you probably know what happened...

    Well how darlin' is THAT!!! I awoke this morning thinking I need to do a flower pot for my bathroom plant. This confirms it - it was a sign. Cute as can be, Becky, and the lettering is wonderful.

    really nice job on laying the tiles. I love the bug. I always know it's summer when I am finding them on me and in the house and I try to get them back out without hurting them.

    I just came in from outside, and there was a ladybug landing on me, then I came in and here is one just as cute!

    Again, thanks for the warm commentws on the lady bug pot. The lettering was done by a friend of mine and she used a stencil. Next time, will try it myself cuz I think I can do that. And I agree, the lettering makes the pot. I did another one with apples, and wrote, "An Apple A Day..." on it. They were the first to sell! As far as adhesives, I do use Weldbond....but I seal all my pots with a masonary sealer (three coats) inside and out when they are finished. I have never had any of my flower pots fall apart. But, I do include directions on how to properly care for them, anytime I sell one to someone. The last thing I want is someone bringing it back to me in a zillion pcs. I found the tiny black glass globs in Hobby Lobby in an assorted pack of colors. Really hard to find just black....

    Am now working on a 20 inch flower pot that I am calling my "crazy pot". Will post a WIP and you will see why....it is taking me forever but am anxious to get it done!
