Didn't have time to write after my epic gardening post yesterday, but in between the knitting and gardening, I found time to decopatch one of our clay pots. We made these YEARS ago at a fair somewhere - it was my first time making something on a pottery wheel and I was very proud of my effort, lumpy though it was. Our pots moved house with us, then I varnished them last summer, fully intending to décopatch them. However, I didn't get round to it and they got tidied into a drawer, where my pot tragically got cracked, possibly when my flute slid onto it.
No matter - Rachel is remarkably skilled with superglue and had soon stuck it back together in very little time. So I re-varnished the cracked one (on the right), and got on with décopatching Rachel's non-damaged pot (on the left - noticeably more attractively shaped).
I decided to use colours which would match the lounge décor, thus using up paper leftover from my décopatch book. I thought a golden interior might look quite lush, and I was right!
Then I did the outside in a mixture of papers, and put a thin red edge along the top. I'm quite pleased with it. I feel it should contain pot pourri or something. Although they you might not see the goldeness, and that'd be a pity...
