I've always enjoyed painting and decoupaging pots. If you peek in the door of my potting shed you will find several stacks of plain terra cotta pots awaiting embellishment when the cooler weather arrives.
These below I decorated some years ago ~ they move around from shelf to shelf on the Welsh dresser in the dining room.
The one with the butterflies is a favorite. I was pleasantly surprised to see this image in the ad below in a current national magazine. Target will be selling John Derian decorative items during the month of September. He is the master of decoupage ~ cutting and gluing paper images to surfaces ~ his special talent being layering images under glass such as plates, platters, paperweights, coasters, bowls, bell jars, urns etc. I will be checking the Target offers as they often do well with affordable designer items.

You have inspired me to try this. I am not artistic but I know how to decopage. Now I just need to find some neat images to use.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! What pretty pots. I have never done decopage although my mother did it alot when I was young. It was all the rage and then went out of style and is back in again. In Holland, they are doing it with pretty napkins. Have you done it with them before? I have seen such pretty things and they feel differently than regular decopage.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well across the pond? We are really busy redoing our entrance hall and laundry room. We are staying here this coming weekend to try and get the laundry room finished.

How beautiful. I think the butterfly is my favorite. I've never done decoupage but it looks like fun.

Just beautiful! I love the butterflies you did. I did a bit of decoupage years ago....with a book. (what else? lol) It was for my grandmother and I put photos of her three great-grandchildren, a pretty verse, photos of flowers, etc. It came out SO good. You take an old book, open it to the middle, etc. The cover was covered with a velvet fabric. Really cool!
ReplyDeleteOn I go here to catch up on your postings....FINALLY getting in here. Missed you, Mary.
Opps! That was ME!
