When I checked back at Lebel today, only 1 of the planters was still there (the one on the no parking sign). The planters left near the rear entrance and side entrance were gone. That looks great, we should definitely try it.

I have a ton of colours, lol. reds, blues, greens, brown, yellow, orange, black, white, purple, etc. this is the process i used to print with fabric paint on a shirt, but it will basically be the same for the planters, just smaller: http://www.flickr.com/photos/explode_myself/sets/72157617239455851/ If it’s that uneven, I’m sure we can try to touch them up a bit.

We should try that this week. I think the toughest part about doing any stenciling or printing on these is that the surface for the paint is uneven. What paint colours do you have?

It came off after some scrubbing. We should definitely try some different colours for stencils, I think Michelle has a bunch of paint. No worries! It came off after some scrubbing.
