one of my favorite things to have in my art studio no joke is plants i like how it looks
and i like the little extra bit of oxygen but these old plain terracotta clay pots
just are boring so how about we make them look a little more special like this
this is an awesome project you can do with friends, family, kids,
or maybe that special someone out there speaking to someone special let's get started
all right move over geez trying to steal my youtube channel now good gosh
everyone welcome to the channel Alejandra say hello hi everybody so we're going to be working
on a fun craft project that we're going to share with you today we're going to be working on some
terracotta pots and transforming the plain old brown pot into something fun and colorful
alejandra how do you think you spell terra cotta t-e-r-r-a
c-o-t-t-a is that right i don't know i don't know how to spell it either so all we need to do is
just get some simple colors pick your favorite colors find something analogonistic something
that's going to blend really well together today we're going to be using a dark blue we're going
to be using a metallic cobalt we're going to be using copper as our accent and our neutral
color we're going to be using today is white because white pretty much goes with everything
and then we're going to be applying that paint with a sea sponge now these sea sponges can be
quite big and you can find them on amazon i just took my sea sponge and cut it in half and if ollie
was intuitive enough she would hold up both pieces to illustrate my point that's one piece oh my gosh
so let's have some fun let's put some of our colors on our paper plates and uh let's start
creating something fun and see who makes the better one who's gonna make the better one ... ME
yeah that sounds enthusiastic here we go okay so what we're gonna do is we're gonna take our
terracotta pots and we're gonna take our sea sponge alejandra and we're going to select any
color we want in any order and start stippling it on in random orders now let's see who makes
the better pop but the very first thing we have to do is make sure we remove our stickers
so how do you think you're doing on yours mine is better than yours you can't tell that already
um i'm not done but i just tried what are you trying to make ... ha ha ha
i don't know i like all these poseidon would be pissed with that pot right now
i don't want to gloat ollie but uh my pot's way better than yours i don't mind looks crazy
so ollie said this is ombre style so i'm just gonna enhance that a little bit more by pushing
in a little more of this dark color down there but i think it looks pretty good with this
little fade i got going on then i'm gonna add a little more of that metallic i think
i'm just gonna fade this in a little bit more down here
mine's looking real good i don't want to say much alejandra but if there's a contest
which there will be there will be voting in the comments here i think i'm winning
oh my gosh i ****** it up
oh we gotta show that to camera sweetest ampersand sign right there all right time for the results
alejandra show us your masterpiece now uh what were you going for here i was
going for the mermaid look um clearly to have summer vibes that's yeah i'm feeling the vibes
scales okay because nothing says summer like scales that's mermaid oh oh yeah okay the writing
alejandra and ryan's garden all right well let's uh let's look at a true masterpiece here
boom mine we got the beautiful dark blues fitting into our cobalt blue fitting into our white
with a little bit of speckling of gold every now and then i actually think this looks fantastic i
love this i think i'm actually gonna make another one now if we can compare the two
which one do you out there think is the better one you think alejandra's or let's just say the winner
ryan you know ww over here i don't know we'll lead up to you to vote but this was super fun you
didn't get to see it all on camera but ollie and i were laughing the entire time we were making this
because it's just a mess it's easy to do don't you think it's easy yeah and anyone can do it kids
