Yes, I've been spray painting again. Beautiful weather results in outdoor projects, like transforming my latest Goodwill finds. I have been looking for a few more orange accessories for our living room, to no avail. So I'm taking matters into my own hands.
Stopping by GW the other day, I found three potential victims projects for my next spray painting adventure! A nice sized ginger jar shaped canister (12" with lid on) , and two smaller vases ( 6" & 4")
Even with just the primer coat, they looked better
I had to do 3 coats on the fruit canister, I didn't want to see any of that shining through
2 coats handled the blue vase
I wanted to keep the ginger jar white, so I painted it with 2 coats of Glossy White, pumpkin orange for the smaller one and blue ocean breeze for the bigger vase. All from Krylon.
Smooth as a baby's bottom!
After they dried, I gave them a couple of hours, I brought them inside.
And played .
And played...
...and played some more...
Thanks for stopping by I hope you're inspired! If you would like to see even more stylised photos, please feel free to visit my photo stream on Flickr.
They look wonderful. I love the colors. So pretty with the orchids. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteBeautiful I love your color choices! you have a fabulous weekend too!
ReplyDeleteI need to put my spray paint hat on and look at everything through your eyes. I wouldn't have bothered with that fruit one. But once again, you've turned ugly ducklings into Cinderellas. I take my hat off to you!

Wow! New to your blog and am totally inspired. You really are the goddess of spray paint, I had no idea you could do such magic with it. Fabulous! And those colors are gorgeous! OK, got to go look for something to spray paint now....!
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle, First time on your blog through Anuradha...but have been totally glued to your blog since morning. I am really happy to see all the best things you turn out of waste or old stuff. It has really inspired me to try my hands on spray painting as well. I just hope it comes out good. You have left me speechless with your work. I am blessed to come across your blog today. If and when I try will surely share the pics with you.
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder to keep your eyes open for great shapes when you're at the thrift store. I probably would have passed by the canister without a second glance. Love the way they turned out.
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous! Im really liking the orange/turqouise color combo lately.
ReplyDeletedon't you just LOVE spray paint! I've done several pieces and it still amazes me how good they look!
ReplyDeletegreat job, everything looks fabulous. Isn't it fun to play around with looks?

ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You never would guess they were spray painted!
ReplyDeleteOh my... yes, you TOTALLY inspired me! I tend to overlook glass things that aren't my colour choice, but I need to bend those rules. You've proven that well here! Just lovin' those colours!

ReplyDeleteLooks great! Love your color choices too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've been on a spray painting kick lately. And not even with color, just painting everything that crosses my path with white primer! I found these old small glass milk jugs and sprayed them. They look beautiful now! I love spraypaint! Yours turned out wonderfully!

I love this project. I've got the perfect ugly vase in mind for a transformation. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi I just discovered your fabulous blog!
ReplyDeleteI love using spray paint as well, but I find it difficult to use well. Often when I spray paint it "crackles" on the surface of what I'm painting. How do you avoid this? I would greatly appreciate any tips.
After using spray paint for the first time the other day, I can see we will be good friends.
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING!! I never new that could be done! Love the colors you chose and the accessories!
Happy to find your blog!

ReplyDeleteFabulous! Your pictures are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of primer do you use to get it to stick to glazed ceramics???? Will it work on glass too? Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle - What kind of primer do you use?
ReplyDeleteKathy and Angela, sorry for the delay on answering.....I use Rustoleum Clean METAL primer. Walmart carries it and it works great on glass and ceramics (amazingly so). I've not had any problems, but you could also seal it with a spray poly for added durability.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps
