Update - French Planters with Graphic Flare

I decorated two really cute planters this morning.


A perfect touch for a French Café!

 
Now I need to add some French herbs.... like basil, sage and thyme.

Update:
(It's a little early in the season. All I could find was dill and mint.)


The dill will be perfect for salmon, pasta and cucumbers salads. I think I'll add it to our weekend morning omelets. The mint I can add to the cucumber salad, rice dishes and cold drinks.


Happy Crafting!

    These look great, Dee! Love the images you used. They'd be wonderful at a party or BBQ holding stuff, too!

    I love it...Maybe we should barter water slide decals for a heat transfer tool! What are we going to do when graphics go out of style??? I can't think about it!

    to cute!
    so nice of you to answer my question via an email. and hanks for letting me know you did more projects.

    Silly me, I was thinking I would paint the wood then do it.
    hmm, heat, paint.....maybe not a good mix. =)
    But, on the other hand, I may be on to some whole new look!!

    Your wooden boxes are so cute so I've been going through your previous posts to read about that transfer tool. It is amazing! I think I am going to order one because I find old boxes at an auction all the time!

    Dee,
    I have a question about the wood burning tool. Is it the heat that makes the graphic transfer the ink? Where do you get your prints done? I have tried Staples and Kinko's and although they are laser printers, the ink just wouldn't budge. I even used an iron, but that didn't help either.
    Love your work.

    Dearest Dee,

    You really keep at it in a good pace. Lovely planters or whatever they will serve for. Yummy for filling them up with apples, mandarin oranges etc.
    Enjoy whatever you're doing!

    This time of year it feel good to get your hands in the dirt. Herbs are a good way to start and your boxes make them very french like.

    Hi Dee,

    I love your idea! I bought a transfer tool and have bee playing with it. I think I might be doing something wrong or missing a step. The paper keeps sticking, I have tried many different temps thinking that may be the problem. I would greatly appreciate your help trouble shooting.
