Fearless Friday, MacKenzie-Childs Apothecary Jar
I had this large apothecary jar gathering dust in the garage
and decided to paint it in the style of MacKenzie-Childs
I made a collage in PicMonkey of several MacKenzie-Childs pieces
for inspiration as I was painting
I didn’t really have a plan, I decided to make it up as I went
I started with some stripes on the base
Next came black checks on the white stripe and a curvy pink line
Laying in on the side made it easier to paint
I painted the same curvy stripe around the top
I decided to make a black and white check stripe
around the knob at the top so it would match the bottom
and then added abstract blue flowers,
2 short, simple strokes or dabs, close together
I decided to paint a couple of large simple flowers
on the main part of the jar so I painted yellow centers
and set it aside to dry while I worked on the top
Dabs of green for the leaves
Big simple strokes with a large round brush
formed the flower petals
and wavy stroke for the stem and leaves
I added more 2 stroke blue flowers to the jar, along with black dots
and painted yellow dots between the base stripes
and on the jar top
I put several rows of orange dots on the top
to tie in the orange flowers on the base
It’s so much fun to take something you already have
and transform it with a little paint!
Have fun and Be Fearless!

Thank you Shannon, I do love to paint things copying MacKenzie-Childs…a lot easier on the budget than the real deal 😂 !
Love the transformed apothecary jar, lovely. You will get so much use from this, it goes with any and everything MC’s! So pretty sitting on the runner and the cake stand. I love PicMonkey and BeFunky, fun making a collage. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Emily, I don’t know what I will do with it, just use it as a decorative piece I guess, but it was fun to paint! Stay dry today!
