Faux Concrete Effects with Paint, Dry Brushing and Texture

[@karenhanley3433]

I love cement pots and garden decor too! The painting techniques you did completely transformed the pots! Really great job 👍😊

I love faux cement items.....get the look without the strain! I had a small, ceramic crouched bunny that was pink and blue flowers....just so NOT pretty! I painted a coat of a cement-looking paint to cover it up then made my lumpy-bumpy faux cement paint and dabbed it all over. Clear waxed it then a tiny bit of dark wax here and there for some shadowing and aging and sold it for 5.00 in my booth. I had fun learning how to faux cement a ceramic piece AND made 5.00 to boot! Dry brushing can really enhance certain pieces. Love the way yours turned out.

That is wonderful Sharon so glad you had fun and got to share it with someone else. Yes dry brushing can really transform. Enjoy creating and thank you for tuning in!

Oh my gosh aren’t all these old things fabulous? I have transformed so many things just like you’ve done in this video. It’s amazing what you can do with a little paint and some texturing paste. Love your work by the way.

[@ellenjgoods]

Thank you Jo! I do love how we can create such beautiful things with our own hands! I’m so happy you are here.

[@carolynlunel9382]

They look great,Ellen! I have a regret.. you know how your love of the concrete garden things just get to you? Me too.. and years ago for some reason I got rid of the BEST concrete garden chicken. I can see it in my mind and have thought over the years.. what the heck was I thinking not keeping it? I'm still on the hunt for another perfect one! If I see one I can dry brush like you did I'll pick it up! Thanks for all your lessons. The life sized Snow White & 7 dwarves story😂😂 I gotta tell my hubby. He was hooked at the start when your hubby tossed furniture out of that building one day in a very early video of yours!

[@ellenjgoods]

We have all gotten rid of something that we regret, it stinks, 😂! But there is a ton of fun in the hunt for another. Enjoy the journey! So glad your husband likes to tune in too, we appreciate both of you!

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

[@ellengill514]

Ellen I love the transformations, but I have to say your fingernails and toe nails are rockin. What brand and colors did you use?

[@ellenjgoods]

Thank you Miss Ellen, if I can remember I sure will pop back on and let you know 😂

[@katrinaschmitz124]

Ohh I love these! I've been wanting to do these to a few pots myself! But how do I make them weather proof for outdoors? I normally work with Debis DIY paint, but, to make it weather proof I am willing to try other companies! Thank you!

[@ellenjgoods]

They need to be sealed inside and out with a waterproof marine grade sealer. Stay tuned to this channel and Facebook, I hope to be sharing that exact product shortly! Thank you for tuning in!

[@katrinaschmitz124]

@@ellenjgoods amazing! Thank you! Will you be selling it? Also, with a marine grade sealer, would it be safe to plant flowers in?

[@ellenjgoods]

@@katrinaschmitz124 yes. And, it’s a green product, so perfectly safe !

[@Karri_in_the_PNW]

I'm in Love with the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Are you selling them?

[@ellenjgoods]

We bought and then sold them about 4 years ago 💓💓💓

[@christineyoung7129]

Hi can you help we can’t get Debi ‘s DIY products in UK what would be the next best product to get my pots to look like yours I do use Fusion but I don’t know we’re to start it’s so frustrating 😊 love your videos

[@ellenjgoods]

Hi Christine! You can use Fusion! I do it all the time. I mix it with Fresco, too. I should have made it clear in the video. Have fun and dry brush away!!! 💓💓💓

[@ambermoy8147]

What brand and color paint did you mix your Fresco with?!

[@ellenjgoods]

Fusion Mineral Paint , any neutral. I think mine was Casement. Everything is linked below in the description box 😊
