Hey Kalena, good to see you again. 😊 I'm still making a couple a week and giving them to friends and neighbours. I have made 2 more stencils, one a black swan for West Aust, and a surfer on a board, we are in Geraldton on the mid west coast, and they have just had the long board surfing championships here. At 73, I like to do something interesting. Love ya work... 😍
Barry Radburn hi! It's good too hear you're continuing with these after the initial ones for your wife. I'm sure you're getting happier and happier with the outcome as each pour goes by. I love the stencils you're doing, they must look fantastic. Thanks for your feedback, I enjoy hearing from you :)
I didn't notice if you did something to the outside of the pots BEFORE painting. They look a little shiny. Did you seal them before AND after? (I love the video and the time you spent showing the mixing process, as well as the pouring. The final product is amazing!)
Hi, I don't do anything other than brush off excess dust on the outside. I seal the paint with an indoor/outdoor clear gloss. Prior to painting, I seal internally with a terracotta pot/ornament sealer. Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you've enjoyed this :)
Hi Adriana, thanks for your comment. The materials are all listed along with approximate ratio in the video. Typically I use a heavy body paint, PVA glue, Floetrol, and silicone spray.
Good Day Kalena ♡ Hope you are well. You are really a master at making these terra cotta pots beautiful. Can I ask you two questions? What are the brand names of the paints you used here? I like the containers. Seem much better for storing. And...what are the little leg things you put on the bottom after completing? Oh, one more thing...I don't know how I missed it before but using glasses to catch the paint is genius. Are you planning to pour the filled glasses? Have a great day!
Preciosa Flower hi! Good to hear from you :) the paints that I use are Mont Marte Dimensions and Derivan Matisse. They come in those containers, I love them! On the bottom of the pots they're just little rubber feet that I get from the hardware store. If the paint surface sits on anything for too long, I've found that it can stick and partially peel. The glasses were a stroke of luck thinking of them! I tried a number of alternatives before coming up with the idea. I let the paint dry in there because not much pools from each pour and I can't lift the pots until they're dry so wouldn't be able to get to it. If I could! It would be interesting to see if the colours were still layered nicely enough to create something or if they were too blended. Thanks for watching and for your questions and compliments :) I'm glad you're still enjoying my videos. Take care :)
@@jonaeflure thank you for thinking of me. Sometimes the world is so big. I hope you have been well through this disastrous past couple of years. I hope to get back to pouring...
Thank you for your encouragement Yolanda :) I've had some medical issues and moved house over the past year, I haven't yet set up my new art space to a point where I'm happy with it to work productively. I'm keen to get back in and get painting though! Cheers Kalena
I picked it up from a dollar shop, it's a glass one and has a piece of melamine board over the top of it. I learned very quickly that the paint doesn't peel off cleanly from glass so it makes the run off very difficult to use.
You can, but it's good to test. Sometimes it peels off. I've given plastic a very fine sanding to create more grip for the paint, if that makes sense?!
Karen Dineen hi, yes, I seal them using dulux clear indoor outdoor gloss. It brings up a beautiful shine in them and picks up all the iridescent highlights.
I had some health issues that have meant I struggle with the art now. I miss it terribly but, hey, that's life and I search for things to fill the gaps!

So beautiful, I liked Kalena
Nelida Quintana thank you :)
Great job

I always put a marble where the hole is any pour over it.
so pretty where did you find that small pot? It's so cute!
Thank you :) I get all my pots from a local hardware/nursery shop. They have some beautiful designs.
Love them. Thanks. Can you please give me the material list that you use for this tutorial? Thanks.

Did u use spray and mix it with paint?

@@kalenaflows4574 It's been 3 long years and you still pop in my mind. Hope all is well with you. You are absolutely missed...🥰
@@jonaeflure thank you for thinking of me. Sometimes the world is so big. I hope you have been well through this disastrous past couple of years. I hope to get back to pouring...
Just found your videos, have you stopped making them? They are all from a year ago, come back.
Thank you for your encouragement Yolanda :) I've had some medical issues and moved house over the past year, I haven't yet set up my new art space to a point where I'm happy with it to work productively. I'm keen to get back in and get painting though!

@@kalenaflows4574 so sorry to hear that, get well soon we will all be hear when your ready. Take care!
Where did you get the turn table ?
I picked it up from a dollar shop, it's a glass one and has a piece of melamine board over the top of it. I learned very quickly that the paint doesn't peel off cleanly from glass so it makes the run off very difficult to use.
That was a typo it was supposed to say " i tried a couple of pots" Eva
can you pour on plastic pots?Thanks!
You can, but it's good to test. Sometimes it peels off. I've given plastic a very fine sanding to create more grip for the paint, if that makes sense?!
What do you do with the paint which has fallen into the vase underneath
I wait for it to dry then peel it off and start making jewellery with it. Most of it is useable so not a lot goes to waste.
Kalena Flows this is amazing i thought it will all just gone into waste ;)
Do you seal them once dry?
Karen Dineen hi, yes, I seal them using dulux clear indoor outdoor gloss. It brings up a beautiful shine in them and picks up all the iridescent highlights.
@@kalenaflows4574 Can I pour epoxi to look like ceramic or marmol?
Why have you stopped?
I had some health issues that have meant I struggle with the art now. I miss it terribly but, hey, that's life and I search for things to fill the gaps!
@@kalenaflows4574 Were they health issues related to the you know what? Can't really talk about it on CZcams.
@@kalenaflows4574 Do you sing?
Only for fun around the house or when I'm driving.
