    I've started to paint teracotta pots.

    Done a few so far and my latest attempt is these two.

    Will add more pictures to this thread as I go.

    Please feel free to post up your designs.

          Wow, those are professional Pushkin! The Snoopy one is great, he's just waiting for the plant to look at :)

          Do you use stencils or how do you do them?

            I actually cheat.
            I could paint the design on as I'm pretty good painter but I found it much easier and less time consuming to stick Car stickers on and then clear varnish over it.

            The snoopy ones were £1.50 each and would've took me ages to paint on and time is of a premium for me this time of year.

            The two Lavender stickers were £1.95 for the pair.

              They are lovely :). Do you sell them or are they just for you?

                  ATM they are just for myself but thinking about it I may start selling them.

                  I think the snoopy ones would be very popular.

                            They are so lovely :wub2:. You really should consider selling them. Definitely think you will find a market for them.
