PAINTED PINECONES ✨🍽🌲⁣
Christmas came early for the final dinner party in my tiny jewellery box flat. Consider this the sequel to pastel pumpkins. I loved the craft element so much last month, these pinecones led to just as many hours of meditative painting!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
💐BLOOMS💐⁣⁣⁣
The inspiration began with @matthewwilliamson’s collaboration for @bloomandwild. It’s one of my favourite projects I’ve worked on this year - a meeting of colourful minds and dynamic British brands. The Glittering Garden bouquet includes lush roses, golden fern and purple eucalyptus. I deconstructed the bouquet like last month, laying the foliage as a base across the table then arranging the roses in low jars 🌹⁣⁣⁣

The Queen of Tablescapes @fionaleahydesign advised me in Istanbul that bold florals like this are best on a plain, tonal tablecloth - when I showed her the campaign image of the bouquet shot against a blue wall we both decided that colour was the one! In the Marrakech fabric souk last week I picked up 2 metres of beautiful teal jacquard for it 💙⁣⁣⁣

🎨PAINTS🎨⁣⁣⁣
Next, I layered on fresh clementines to echo the orange roses 🍊. Finally, the painted pinecones! I didn’t want to use aerosol spray paint (the fumes) but found this method - using water-based paint testers and 3cm brushes - worked the best:⁣⁣⁣
1. Wash the cones in soapy water and dry in a low temperature oven (wet pinecones close up).⁣⁣⁣
2. One layer of white primer.⁣⁣⁣
3. Two layers of colour.⁣⁣⁣
4. A light flourish of antique gold acrylic for the tips (paint from bottom to top).⁣⁣⁣
5. Glitter (biodegradable) on a few tips too! ⁣⁣⁣
