Gardening

I was putting a coat of paint on a set of drawers I bought at a garage sale and ended up with a lot of paint left in my tray. What to do, what to do. I wandered around outside looking for something to paint and noticed a bunch of pots I had just cleaned up. Voila! I painted a bunch of clay pots, and put a finishing touch on the rim of a pot that I had mosaic’d.

Semi-Gloss Enamel works wonders!

I had done mosaic with some “beach” glass on this pot but it just didn’t look finished until I painted the rim of the pot. Much improved.

A painted rim finished off this pot that I did mosaic work on.

Here are a few of the pots I painted. I ended up with all these pots painted plus five more just like the one under the paint can.

My painted pots project is a success! I've created a monster - ME!!!

I like them. What do you think?

Important Point: I used a combo primer/paint, semi-glass enamel which I think was key to a successful project. I’m lazy (hence the combo primer/paint!) and the semi gloss dressed up the pots a bit. I did two coats on most of the pots which gave them a better sheen.
