Making Hand-Painted Ceramic Planters

Plain ceramic pots sit on my workbench, waiting for color. I dip a brush in sky-blue paint, painting tiny hot air balloons floating over green hills, then seal them with clear glaze. When dry, I add felt pads to the bottom to protect tables. Planting a small succulent in one, I set it on my windowsill. It looks like a tiny work of art—this craft isn’t just making planters, but turning a simple pot into a home for plants, blending art and nature.​
