How to Dye Abstract Designs on a Pot using water and Enamel Paints
Paints such as enamel, glass paints and oil paints are not soluble in water. That is, they will float on water. Using this character of enamel paints can produce awesome design on water surface which could be transferred to the pot. This post will teach you how to do that technique to get a fantastic abstract pot for home decor.
You need -
- A pot (Painted with white acrylic/enamel paint)
- Enamel Paints (at least 2 colors)
- A Tub full of water. (The diameter of the tub should be slightly greater that the height of the pot.)
- A Stick (To make patterns on water)
- Gloves (optional)
- Newspapers (To avoid mess).
Procedure -
Fill the tub with water. Pour 2-3 colors of enamel paint in the water. (you will notice that the enamel paint will float on top on the water surface).Take a Stick and stir the surface of water to get abstract patterns of Enamel colors. Then take the pot and hold it on the water surface. Then slowly rotate it on the water surface to transfer the design onto the pot. If some part on the pot is left without design, pour some more paint into the tub and repeat the process until the pot is covered. Then let it dry for 48 hours.
