Randon craft question

Post by Humboldt »

Bought this clay pot last week, already popped a kalanchoe tomentosa baker (P*ssy ears) in.
The attachment a969af.jpg is no longer available
Thinking about buying a second identical one and painting or somehow coloring the flowers and steam and leaves.

Lots of those indents are super small though.

Do you know of any melt-able resins or plastics, colored, and very fine like sand?

If I could use a small brush to fill the imprints and hit it with a heat gun to melt the colorant, I think it could work.

No clue what kind of product I'm looking for though.

I'd just paint in the recessed areas with small paintbrushes... It should be easy to trace if the brushes are small enough, and not a huge issue if you go over a bit.
Alternatively, you could use a flat roller and have everything else painted but the recessed flowers, if you're only going for a two-tone look.

Have you seen the wax pots that salons use? A pot that heats and has waxes of different colors?

Hi Ken,

Never gotten waxed...you?

But yeah, I guess I'm looking for something called powed coat, fine colored plastic powder.

Actually, yes! Many times. I had a female live with me that owns a salon. Waxing can be done in many areas. She also shaved my complete body with a straight razor, many times. Think about that for a minute... ;) :D I learned to never fall asleep when she was shaving me... Hair is a lubricant... ;) :rotfl:

I think that you will have to take it to be powder coated, as I don't think that it is a DIY project. YMMV Just a suggestion, with hot wax, you could change colors if you wanted...

Good luck with whatever you choose!
