How To Paint a Topiary Pot

January 11, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Hello! Well, with all the ‘wordy’ posts lately you might’ve been thinking I haven’t been painting at all.

Au contrere, mon frere. Which, loosely translated, means, You’re wrong, my brother. I think. I’m not really too sure. I only took a few years of high school French and it was more than a few years ago. And I realize you’re not my brother but c’mon . . . it rhymes, right?

Anyhoo, I have been painting and I do have loads of tutorials for you. And I will continue writing My Story, although I’ll post it on weekends. There’s just too many painting, decorating and organizing projects to share. Ha! And I thought January would be the slow time of year!

Note: I totally misread my calendar when I posted yesterday’s Word of The Year. I was supposed to write it next week. Dang.

You’re in luck today, though. This is as close to a non-wordy post as I can get. Just look at the pictures and you’ll be able to paint a pretty little pot to go with the pretty little topiary we did last week.

Ready?

Here’s the pattern for the pot. If you can’t download it from here for some reason, let me know.

Okay, I can’t take it anymore! I have to talk!

You can obviously paint this pot for anything (Easter, anyone?) but it’ll look oh-so-much better if you add some shading on the rim of the pot. Puhleeze? You’ll be so glad you did.

Thank you!

Tomorrow . . . more words. But after that, some paint-it-pretty Valentine’s stuff!

If you have a favorite Spring flower you’d like a paint tutorial for, now’s the time to ask! I’ll definitely give it a try!
