terra cotta planters

19 years ago

Finally got around to grouting them (the DRY mix--I did not use one drop of water to clean up). I painted the rim of the one pot because I'm lazy and it had curves. The other is self explanatory. Now I need flowers!

Here is a link that might be useful:

    Hey Rosie, I just love your artwork! The pots are gorgeous, to say the least, but I always enjoy going back to look at your other work. I LOVE the guitar, but I also really like one of your first works, the flower pot. It's so sweet and great color! Your imagination is awesome. I aspire to be as creative as you one day!

    Thanks all. I haven't been doing much lately because of gardening so I really needed to get back into it. I'm percolating an idea for my torso. Just not sure how to execute it.

    NT: Send me an e-mail (it's under "my page") and I'll tell you what I sold things for.

    These are beautiful!! SO colorful - can you share how you painted the rim? Did you do a gold wash over a couple of colors, or what?

    thanks for sharing

    Great stuff, ROSIE - eye-popping color combos and nice cuts and designs. About time you showed us some new stuff. Yeah, gardening and company - that's my story too and I'm sticking to it. In a mosaic slump.

    Your pots are so colorful Rosie. I loved looking through your album at all your projects, I don't remember having seen any of your mosaics before.
    I would also be interested in knowing what you sold your stuff for too.

    LITLBIT: Re the painted rim: If you look at the inside rim you'll see a cobalt blue which was the base coat. I then took a straw color and a bunch of metallics and dry brushed on many acrylic colors--greens, periwinkle, amethyst, copper and lastly with gold. If there was too much color I took a dry rag and smudged it til I got the look I wanted.
    CraftyLady: If you post your e-mail I'll let you know re prices. Feel kinda funny about listing them here.

    OH ROSIE!

    "I'm percolating an idea for my torso. Just not sure how to execute it."

    ROFLMBO! I wonder if anyone ever stumbles across our site and wonder what in the world we could be planning. LOL
