David you are definitely the king of upcycling old pots. I just love how they turn out. Your art piece is stunning. I have always wished I had the talent of painting like that. Thank you so much for joining us on the Road Trip. See you in September!

[@candysv]

The double handled one is my fav! Gorgeous view while you were painting! I'd love to see more of your paintings!!❤

[@DavidOwenCreates]

[@craftinupastormwithchar8036]

All your vases came out awesome! My favorite is the jug with the one side handle! 😊❤

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thanks so much! 😄 I love the texture on that one!!!

[@anavah4yeshua580]

Rough texture (old blue & purple) looks really Peruvian. I love it!!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

[@donnas1389]

[@lauragarrette9220]

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you very much!!!

[@lizsanabria5541]

Love your ideas ❤️💚❤️💚

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you Liz!

[@ellenl5626]

David I'm so glad to see you flipping vases again! Just reading about all you're doing is tiring 🤣I'd love to see you flip more glass vases/bottles. My favorite today is the one with the double handles.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Amazing thank you for this feedback! I will also keep in mind to look into some new textured glass vases I actually have a sea glass idea in mind already

[@marilynranden]

David you are remarkably talented, it never ceases to amaze me what you can do. I love the pot with the rings through the handles, but l think they all turned out great. I also think the pic you are painting is very cool! Thanks for sharing!!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot. I’m definitely my worst critic but that okay, I only have to live up to my own standards then. I know deep down I tried and I wanna try again to get better that’s all that matters to me is keep going and creating. Thank you so much for this positive energy! God Bless!!!

[@marilynranden]

@@DavidOwenCreates You are very welcome David, it was my pleasure indeed! Keep believing in yourself!

[@OakWellHome]

All of the vases turned out gorgeous, David! You are great at transforming them! I upcycled a vase also. You are an awesome artist as well. I like how you incorporated the scissors into the art piece and that frame is gorgeous that you found in the trash. 💖

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much! I love that think alike there with seeing the beauty in something that others would toss out as trash! It’s incredible

[@janetwilson5933]

I like the one with the ring handles. Looks Roman.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Yesssss!!! I love that - feels ancient and old love that lol

[@trinapemberton]

I just subscribed. I had 2 favorite jugs. The first and the last little canister. My over all was your painting that you call NOT DONE- wow!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thanks for subbing! Thanks for your support - I absolutely love doing these types of makeovers so your gonna love watching my videos 😂

[@UIV7096]

Beautiful items David! You find the most Unique pieces. 🫶🏽

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much! 😊 I definitely appreciate that.

[@dorisandujar8277]

Wow you make it so hard to choose a favorite. These all came out so amazing. If i were to choose one though i think it would be the one with the 2 handles that i think u said had a copper band around it. It actually looks like stone or concrete. That is unbelievable. You certainly know how to play with paint to get different looks and textures. Great, great job

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so so so much 🙏 I love doing these dupes - definitely developed a passion for pottery because of these faux pottery dupes!

[@helenicepacheco8188]

You are amazing! I loved all

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you!!

[@necoragha65]

They all turned out great. And although your picture might not be quite finished yet (in your view) I'm seriously impressed. 🇧🇪

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you for that kind compliment. I have hours of detail work to do still and don’t have time ugh 😩

[@joanneroberts5666]

Love all of them,David you are so talented❤❤❤

[@janetwilson5933]

These are so unique.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much

[@homeridgestudio1215]

I love all of them! You have inspired me to paint my 2 very large pots in my foyer. I've changed my decor so they no longer match. I'm afraid to, but now I think I might risk it.😊 😮

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you!!! Just remember you can always wipe paint off. It may be a process but you can remove and start over - maybe you can practice on a thrifted vase or one from dollar tree first before starting the bigger project? You can use glass vases too! - add texture with joint compound smeared all over it and sand it down a little - if you don’t have sand paper go outside and lightly scrap the piece on the cement and it’ll help sand off rough edges - or use a rock to rub over the dried joint compound. After you have texture going on - add the baking soda paint mixture in a dabbing motion with a brush - let your first color DRY before doing it again with a new color - working your way from DARK first to LIGHTEST color last applied. Spray with a Matte clear sealer spray - hope you see this comment and it helps!!! Let me know if you ever have any questions about the process, as sometimes I may miss something in the videos. I have made many tutorials for you to watch over and get ideas on making faux pottery pieces look like an old ancient gem (collected pottery piece)

[@homeridgestudio1215]

Great ideas! I think I will pick up a vase at good will to practice on first. And yes I'll watch some more of your videos on technique. Thank you!

[@terirachelsims8928]

What a change!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Right

[@shabbymeetsbling615]

Just subscribed! Love the frame you found in the trash! Love your style💗 I very much enjoyed watching your painting come to life!! And how about those vases?!?! My fav was the large jug!! Would look fab🤗 in my French Country dining room, yum!!! lol, still working my way through the play list with my morning coffee☕! Great being in the TFRT with you David! TFS!!!!

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much! I love that you can actually envision something I made in your home. That makes me so happy to hear that it doesn’t look like crap lol 😂

[@shabbymeetsbling615]

@@DavidOwenCreates far far from crap🤣

[@joyce7724]

Wowww you are the besttttttttt

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you

[@Hhaahland4]

Did you cover the vase with the rings with spackle to get that texture or was it already like that. It came out looking like an old iron pot that had been corroding at the bottom of the ocean., fantastic. I’m a new subscriber and you’re my new go to artist for this kind of thing. Will be binging all your old videos.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Aw thank you!!! No spackle. It was all already there textured ! Thank you!!!

[@marciazilli5034]

Ola! Lindo trabalho! Sera que poderia fazer em vasos de rua?Maiores? Que ficam no tempo?

[@tierneylogan5943]

I love the tall one with the handle. This was just acrylic paint mixed w baking soda??

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Hi there! Yes that is correct - I like to mix matte paint bc of the anti shine

[@tierneylogan5943]

@@DavidOwenCreates thanks! I have a glazed ceramic strawberry pot painted with cheesy little strawberries (i mean it’s cute just not my style) and i think i will try something like this on it!

[@lizsanabria5541]

Hello David I am already amazed at the items you find at thrift shop or sales these are no exception love everything always a pleasure ❤️💙💜🤎🩵🧡💛💚

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciakoenig3966]

Yeah David glad to see you again I look forward to seeing your Dupes I'm in love with the vase with the dangling handles.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

Thank you! I think that one is my favorite too! I really wish I could have shown the before on that one. I swear nothing ever goes right but oh well I got my video up in the playlist late too
