I hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday! I'm on vacation visiting family, but I wanted to share a project I just recently completed. I was asked to paint 2 planters. She wanted the Fresco old world brick look which wasn't a problem,
But while in transit one planter was almost demolished (no fault of mine).
She felt the planter was completely destroyed, but I decided to give it a shot fixing it, besides I couldn't mess it up any worse than what it was already ;-) Thankfully all of the pieces had been saved, so with the help of some caulking & kwik seal I was able to piece it together....
Sorry, not many pictures, but this is the finish product.
If you're wondering why these planters are in my front room, it's because I didn't have enough space in my work room utility room which is where I do all of my painting. Thankfuly there weren't any paint splatters!
Nice save! :) Heroic, really.

Another great job as usual! You are definitely one talented crafter! Great save on the broken pot, I'm betting that it probably looks better now than it did before the break! : ).. I'm definitely pinning this one.

Love it much, much, much more now... Well done!!! So happy you did not just throw it away ;-). Its a gem!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great job fixing it. I thought you were going to create something within the broken space to make it work. You went way beyond, as usual, and its awesome. By the way, you've been nominated for the Versatile Blogger award; details on my blog post. Hope you make it over to party at Frugal Treasures Tuesday party starting tomorrow at 7pm.
