Kelcia Wheeler thank you 😀 I'm pleased you've enjoyed watching. These pots were very quickly snapped up!

Linda Johnston thank you for your words. If I can give you one tip for doing pots, make your paint slightly thicker than you normally would to get better coverage on the pots. I made several pretty but awful mistakes with these when I started doing them! And I was determined to get cells! Ultimately when I did, I didn't like them. So now I just use sparkles instead, pearl paints or added iridescent medium. All the best with yours 😊

lully381 Thank you :) I hope you have as much fun with them as I do!

niallwexeire dude you so totally should, they are a lot of fun!

Rene' Warren oh, it is! Great fun. Just make sure you catch the drips off with a skewer or something so you don't end up with a bumpy rim. Enjoy it! Kalena 😀

LISA HARMS thank you :)

Latressa Allen the sky is the limit, it's so much satisfaction and fun seeing the paint create patterns and watching them change and settle. My only suggestion on using glass as opposed to terracotta is to make the paint a little thicker to decrease the amount of flow as the glossy surface of glass means the paint wants to keep flowing and will get quite thin. The inside will look fascinating as well! All the best, Kalena

Kalena Flows I've been diy's for a short time and I'm tired of glitter and bling and I've wanted to learn how to do this when I do my vase I'll share it with you once again thanks

Latressa Allen I'd love to see it. I have some clear glass projects waiting for me but was in a car accident last weekend where another car hit me and my wrist was badly sprained so I'm a little out of action. Desperate to get back!

Kalena Flows Sorry to hear that hope you make a full recovery I'll be waiting for your projects take it easy

Nora Mcfall thank you, that's wonderful! I hope you have a world of fun with it! Cheers, Kalena

Philippe Vanoli thank you !

maggi choudhary thank you 🙂

Sara Mahoney I'm glad you liked it and that it inspired you. You make a good point on the music side too. Often I pick it in the wrong mood! I must be more conscious of it... good luck with your pour, don't forget to water proof the inside first! Kalena

Did you try?

@@kalenaflows4574 how do you waterproof the inside? What will be safe for plants?

@@kalenaflows4574 I really enjoyed the music piece! It was profoundly beautiful and relaxing 👌

Thank you for your feedback, I'm pleased you have found my channel helpful. I hope you have a lot of fun creating beautiful pieces. 🥰

Uttam Majumder thank you :)

علي ع thank you 🙂

Papillionvert Merci. Vert Je suis content que tu les aies appréciés.

Had so much fun editing the clip for this one! Reversing was definitely my favourite part and it was so tempting to put more of it in!

Sharon Carty if you check out a couple of most recent videos you'll see that the varnish put on at the end actually makes the colour pop and it looks like when it was wet. These ones just sold before I remembered to photograph them finished!

Sharon Carty oh and I missed responding to your second question, sorry, the inside of the pot is all clear from paint as I have the pots sitting on cups so the extra paint falls directly into there and can be used for another pour sometimes though usually is too messy by then. Have a great day! Kalena

Jill Bull I think you're the first person to request more chatter from me! Thank you most sincerely. I'm glad you stumbled across my clips and enjoy them. 🙂

Thank you :) the silicone adds a clearer and more uniform cell structure to the pattern produced by the layers of paint. It isn't necessary to add it as you will still get a cell structure without it, it will simply be different. The heat brings out the cells quicker so you will get more uniformity as more will dorm at the same time, again, this is the case with or without silicone. Neither heat nor silicone is necessary and passing around with different combinations will let you discover your preferences. Good luck, I know you will enjoy it!

@@kalenaflows4574 Thank you so much for sharing. Appreciate

takehomeahottie thank you very much 😊

Maria Rodriguez Thank you so much, Maria ❤ the paints I use are heavy body acrylics and are Mont Marte dimensions range. Kalena

Swagger King hi there, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer on this one as I've not worked with epoxy. There's only one way to find out! Pick some colours and give it a whirl, you may be on to a beautiful thing. Art is all about having an idea and playing with it to see if it works if you can't find someone else already doing it. It's trial and error and learning along the way, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it's fun! I hope you give it a go.

Difficult to say. I leave the external surface raw, it isn't treated with anything prior to pouring. Only the interior surface is treated and that is with the terracotta sealant. I do layer the paint a lot in the cup to increase the patterns in the final effect. The beauty of it is that if you aren't happy with the result you can easily pour over the top again. Sorry I can't help more, I'm certain you'll gain a feel for what you like as you play with the technique. I poured a lot of canvas before trying pots!

Katrina Hoskin hi! I used Bondall Pot and Ornament Sealer. It's a terracotta pot sealer. In Aus it's available at hardware stores and plant nurseries. I'm sure you'd be able to find similar anywhere else, just a matter of asking in shop for how to waterproof the pot. All the best!

thankyou kalena its appreciated

How long does it take to dry?

Katrina Hoskin the sealer only takes around 4 hours. Two coats are needed to achieve a decent degree off waterproofing though. From memory I think it's 4 hours between coats then 48 until it can be used for plants.

ty kalena

Sfeli Ob thank you. It's heavy body acrylic paint, mixed with floetrol and pva craft glue.

Marjie NS816 Thank you 🙄 I pick the pots up from gardening shops. I love this shape too. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Kalena

Llana Dyess thank you. I don't use a primer on the pots. Internally I seal them to waterproof them and use a regular terracotta pot and ornament sealer. After painting I finish with an indoor outdoor clear gloss made by dulux. I have half a dozen sitting on my front porch by the door with succulents growing in them.

I use a terracotta sealant on the inside before pouring. After the pour I apply dulux matt clear indoor outdoor spray. Typically 2 coats. I have quite a few pots which have been in use outside for years now and still look brand new.

Aqidas Irisab hi, you would but you may find it peels off very readily. I would try it like that first then, if it doesn't work, perhaps rubbing the vase with sandpaper to create a rough surface for the paint to stick to will work. Good luck!

you could also prime them with a plastic primer thats used for plastic outdoor furniture befor you repaint them

I have the pots resting on a jar or a large glass depending on how big the pot is. I make sure that the opening of the jar/glass is facing up so that any paint going through the hole in the bottom of the pot is caught instead of making a mess of the inside of the pot. The lip usually turns out very well, I make sure to remove any drips as they form to create a smooth finish. If I don't like the way the paint mixes as this is done, I simply paint over it with a solid but complimentary colour.

@@kalenaflows4574 Thank you

Hi Heather, I seal the internal with a terracotta sealer - two coats with 24 hours between them, and I varnish using a dulux indoor outdoor gloss. These are both extremely effective and I have had half a dozen pots in varying sizes sitting out the front of my house for the past 3 years and they look like new still.

RowdyLovey Dean hi, the paint runs down the pot and also soaks in so it leaves a pattern but not too thick. The paint is mixed with floetrol and pva to make it flow otherwise it would be too thick to run. After it's painted I let it dry for a week or so and then use a water proof varnish and put 2 or 3 coats on it depending on how much silicone I've added. The silicone helps to create the cell pattern when a small torch burner is used on it briefly immediately after pouring. Hope this helps but feel free to ask more. Kalena

Paintball you :) Paint to Floetrol will vary slightly depending on how thick the paint is. I use a high density paint which is almost as thick as peanut butter. You can mix this with a combination of water and Floetrol or with just Floetrol (in addition to the pva). My preference is to leave out the water as I feel the results are crisper. I would usually end up using at least 3 times as much Floetrol. The aim is to achieve a fluid which has the consistency of warm honey - a little thick but not so thick that it's dripping off the end of your mixer. Hope this helps!

Shibani Datta thanks! I use extra paint as I create jewellery from the flow off paint when it dries. Using less paint isn't a problem as looking as you manage to cover the entire pot.

Hi there, as I make these for outdoor use, I use a clear indoor outdoor dulux spray. It comes in matt and gloss and protects the paint extremely well. I have several pots which have been outside for 4 years now, one is wooden and being well waterproofed and varnished, it has sat in all weather and sunshine and still looks fresh. Good luck!

Oops sorry, the waterproofing is done using a terracotta pot sealer, these would be available at any nursery. Thanks for your feedback :)

Donna Buchan I'm fortunate that I have a big enough table to leave them there and get several pours going to dry at a time, however, if they're left for a couple of hours for the paint to absorb into the pot, they are then dry enough to move and you could put them on a bench. Mine sit on a moveable circle of thin melamine so that they can be moved easily anyway. To stand them high enough to pour them I have them on inverted cups so they are not touching the pouring surface. They're inverted so that isn't excess paint pooling in the centre hole, it drains into the cup instead. Doing this as a project how you've mentioned is a great idea and I'm happy to give you further info if you like, just drop a line here and ask. Good luck with it!

Thank you :) I use a terracotta sealer on the inside and varnish the finished product on the outside. I have pots that I painted 5 years or more so which live outside with plants in them. They still look brand new.

@@kalenaflows4574 Ah, thank you. They're so pretty. I really want to try this myself. :)

You definitely should, it's very satisfying.

Hi Glenys, I buy the terracotta sealer and the paint sealer both from bunnings, the former is in the garden department and the latter from the paint department. Good luck!

@@kalenaflows4574 thank you

Thank you! I use Dulux indoor/outdoor clear gloss spray for the pots. This has worked fantastically for me. You should be able to find this or similar product in any paint shop.

Ranjit Kaur the colour names all appear on screen at the beginning of the clip. As for brand, I'm using Mont Marte dimension heavy body acrylic paints for all of them. 🙂
