- Dirty pour onto two terracotta pots. These are two very different pours done for a client who wanted small versions of two larger pots that I had already done. One has silicone in it and the other doesn't. You may notice I used a torch on both of them, on pot B, this was simply because there were some bubbles I wanted to get rid of.
Love these great idea for my Moms mothers day gift.
Kellie Westley they certainly are a great gift idea, I sold quite a few leading up to Christmas. I haven't been making them since due to summer holidays in Australia and looking after kids etc but I'm at a market in 2 weeks coming up to mother's day so I'm sure they'll be popular again. ☺
Such fun to have your work on yourube, thank you.
Pam Barone thank you! That is such a beautiful compliment ❤
Very beautiful...thank you so much
Awesome TFS
The blue one is really pretty
bravo j'adore cette méthode. merci .
Elfee Claudette merci beaucoup 🙂
They are beautiful I've been wanting to do this. Where did you get the little knobs on the bottom and what are they? I really did enjoy watching this that was really nice.
Diane Hampton Hi Diane thank you. They are rubber feet from Bunnings hardware. They come in various sizes and would be typically used to stop furniture scratching floorboards!
L❤️VE THESE !
So there is no process in prepping the pots before the pour and do you spray a indoor/outdoor finish on them ?
Judith Russell they are sealed internally with a terracotta pot and ornament sealer prior to any painting. I cover with 2 thick coats. The paint is protected with the floetrol and pva mixed with it as both have protecting properties. In addition, There are indoor/outdoor clear sealers available to use over the paint.

Love them, where do you get the silicone in Aus, is it a spray, also how much do you use? Would love to try this on my own pots that I make. Love your videos, have liked and subscribed.👍
Thank you! :) I bought silicone from Bunnings, you can even use wd40 but generic silicone is cheaper. I only use about a half second spray. You don't need much at all. If you use lots, you get much smaller and way more cells, using sparingly gives you nice big cells. Good luck with your pots, I'm sure they'll turn out wonderfully!
Do you need to clean them before varnishing to absorb the silicone you used in the paint? Also how long did you let the paint cure before you varnished?
Whzt due you seal the pots after they're dry? So beautiful. Thanks for sharing Terri
Thanks Terri :)
I use a dulux indoor/ outdoor clear spray. You can get gloss or matt but I felt that as it was meant to work for outdoor then it would be perfect for the pots.
What did you put in the middle to hold the pots up? They are beautiful
The Shellinator thank you ❤ in this instance I've just put a couple of tall drinking glasses under them that were quite cheap. I've got them placed with the opening up so that they catch the drippings and don't make a mess of the inside base of the pot. Thanks for asking as I should make a note of that in future videos. It makes for a neater finish.
soooo pretty love the blue colors. What are the feet on the bottom of the pots?
Thank you :) they are little rubber stick on feet that I picked up from the hardware store, you can get different sizes and shapes.
Two brilliant pots with a totally different effect.
Do you seal inside and out with Bondall or just the inside?
Being from Geraldton, you have the ocean on one pot, and the outback on the other. Love them both.
Barry Radburn Hi Barry, I only seal the inside, however, the outside and overlapping into the inside, is varnished once the paint dries and each pot has several coats applied. Have you ever had experience with painted terracotta and how well it lasted in Geraldton? I'd be interested to hear as I'm always keen to improve my end product. Thanks for asking. :)
Hi Kalena,I don't know how it would go here, our temperatures are a bit higher than yours.
I am getting some acrylics probably next week and I will have a go myself. We are expecting 33 on Friday which is about mid range of our summer. It gets to around 43 to 45 normally.
I will let you know how it goes.
Barry Radburn thanks, I'd be very keen. I've also thought of a friend who lived there for some years who may have ideas. I'll ask. Nice spot, Geraldton - I've visited a few times.
What kind of pva glue did u use? What brand. Also can i mix floetrol pva and spot on treadmill oil altogether?
What happens when you turn the pot up, what does the rim look like?
Kathy Kourakos when you turn it over, if you've been careful about wiping the drips off, it's quite a nice clean edge, however, I usually paint the edges and often the entire top inside rim/lip - from the bump. I will be including this in more videos as I go along. Admittedly it's the one thing I keep forgetting to add to the videos and my forgetfulness does frustrate me!
Hey . will it still come out the same if you just use the paint by itself. Why or why not thanks.
Desiree Evans No, it won't work if you just use paint as it's too thick. Unless you thin it with a medium such as water or floetrol it's just going to sit and won't run freely. The pva helps with the distinction between colours. I find in combination with water gives a less crisp distinction than floetrol but is still good. There are other more expensive mediums available but I haven't tried them as I like the result I have. Hope this answers your question 🙂
Am I the only one that while loving this type of art thinks about how so much product (paint/resinetc) seems to go to waste??
You're not alone, I felt that way when I first started so sought out ways to prevent so much waste. I pour over the top of a melamine board and once the paint dries, I peel it off and create jewellery with it. The less waste the better!
Awesome do you have a paint mixing video for these types of project?
Wandering Art I don't have any as I don't tend to stick to a particular recipe but you raise an excellent idea 🙂
Kalena Flows yes you should! I work with resin and I love to pour but I have never gotten the hang of acrylic pours on anything besides canvas. I did a vase and it all poured off
Wandering Art a lot of it will pour off, the trick is to mix the paint a little thicker than for a canvas. It will also depend on how steep the sides are and how porous the surface is. I find glass harder to pour on, ceramic slightly easier, terracotta no problems.
What do you use to hold the pots up?
I use a tall glass. Anything with an opening so that the excess paint can go through the hole in the base of the pot.
What kind of paint are you using?
Donna Lynn hi, I use Mont Marte Dimension paints. They're an Australian company so I'm not sure how widely they're available. The paint is a very thick paint which makes it excellent for this type of work. I've found the craft acrylics are too thin for my liking.
What kind of feet did you put on the bottom of the pots? Thanks Terri
I just found some little rubber stops at my local hardware shop. They are adhesive so they're very easy to use.
Hello can you do it on plastic pots too.
Desiree Evans you can but test it as it may peel off. It won't peel from glass or ceramic but I've found unless I give a very fine sand to plastic, it's easy to peel.
Kalena Flows on ok thanks good to know.
