Here is the latest Gingerbread Flower Pot I have done...

This is based coated with Antique White,and painted on the pot upside down...Added my gingerbread and red hearts and some leaves and hearts around the plate...The Gingerbread,Hearts ,Vines and leaves go all around the pot and the plate...I base coated the plate for the pot also in Antique White and glued it to the bottom of the flower pot...Applied a clear indoor/outdoor stain to it...Added some fake fruit in the plate on the top...might use this as a Pedestal Candy Dish too...

Thanks for sharing, they look really nice. I can imagine some with snowmen for Xmas would really nice also- I bet you you could sell them quite easily! Isn't that how Donna Dewberry started?!

I love your work, and this is a great idea for a candy dish. A Christmas theme would be really good too.

Thanks missibob...I have an idea for a Christmas one that looks like a chimney when its painted and filling it with candy canes...

smiles & hugs...

This is just adorable, Theresa!!

These would make very cute teachers gifts for Christmas!

They would also look cute with a big candle in the middle of it and then filled in with greenery and other candies and gingerbread ornies to match the ones on the dish.
