I noticed that a similar pot is being sold on Etsy.

I have an inkjet printer and I guess that is the problem - or part of it anyhow.

After all, if this is mimicking an antiquated item that has been outdoors for years, it shouldn't be too perfect, should it? I really like the look of the pots, but have found that much of what I love about southern Europe doesn't look right in NE Britain; the climate is all wrong most of the time. Am currently house/cat sitting for a cousin in Nice and am learning about a different side of life on the Med. The view of the Baie des Anges from the balcony is spectacular but the noise and bustle of the city is not wonderful. In 90-something heat without air con, I've reacquainted myself with my old favourite: iced tea with lemon!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-38957368003239775312013-08-13T22:56:28.592-05:002013-08-13T22:56:28.592-05:00Your pots look great, Sanda, and I don't think...Your pots look great, Sanda, and I don't think it matters if a bit of the transfer misses - it looks more authentic! It is something I would like to try, along with painting wooden items in a similar way.
