    Though I'm pretty good at causing drips when I'm painting, if I were actually trying to get drips, they probably wouldn't look as good as yours and I would end up just painting the whole pot! I do love this look. This would be a great project for kids too and maybe they could put their fingerprint in the paint at the tip of each drip.

    Alyssa - I just revisited your blog - and will probably do it again!! I want to know what that really neat succulent is that's in your yellow & white pot. I've seen that before, is it possibly called Donkey's Tail or something like that? And . . . . your baby is totally adorable!! Looks like a happy lil guy!!

    If you have access to a kiln, good terra cotta can be stained and fired. Lots of fun.

    @Susan, for my 13th birthday, my parents and I decorated my bedroom in flower power stuff. Fast forward to 2002, for my daughter's 13th birthday, we decorated her room in flower power because it was all back in style!

    @Susan, who knows what's next. Some things are better left in the past like the old dark Spanish style furniture of the 60's. I remember my sister having a house full of it!

    Love this idea. I am a "potty painter"! I have been looking for unique ideas to paint my pots.

    I have 14 pots on my steel table!! That I have painted. (This was the table my parents bought in 1935.)

    Has anyone ever tried to..paint pot your color of choice..when dry take a candle and drip the hot wax over the pot, in drips or splatters.... ..then paint over waxed pot with another color...when dry gently remove (scrape) the wax drips off. Will leave almost the same effect.
