project 17 of 26 / painted pot.

IMG_6927

I painted this clay pot over Thanksgiving and was excited to transplant my favorite plant into it as part of the unpacking process over the weekend. I used Liquitex Acrylic paint (so one step up from the cheap craft paint) and covered the whole thing in white before freehanding the black triangles. It’s perfectly imperfect and brings a fun pattern into my new place.

I no longer have any doubt I'll be completing my 26 projects. This new house is full of inspiration. Today's mission is to paint my office…

    Awesome pot! I love the black and white – it will go with everything. I cannot wait to see your office and what color you are painting it.

    I love that pot! What a great idea. I love that it’s imperfect and so fun—I’m just getting back into painting (lots of thanks to you for inspiring me!) and I like seeing others I admire who don’t make everything exact. I’m really excited to see how you decorate the rest of your awesome new place!

    I was going to ask you about that planter – saw it in your photos yesterday. Love it! I was thinking about a similar colorway with zig-zags – perhaps a project for me to kick off 2012 🙂

    The pot looks like it has been like that from the start. Wonderful work, knowing the it was just done out of fun and not planned. More about Owatrol additives in http://www.igoe.ie/paintpeeling-peelingpaint/

    Did you have to seal it at all? I plan to make this in the near future, and don’t want the paint to peel!
