I'm quite drawn to the idea of illustrating a plant pot for part of my promotional pack, I think the product is relevant to my work as I have been doing a lot of nature illustrations recently, it is what I really enjoy drawing and seems to be the basis of the design for this pack at the moment. Also, John mentioned a good product for the pack is something the client can keep, and plant pots can be re-used many times, and I think a beautifully decorated one is a nice thing to just have in the home.
I'm not really sure how I going to go about decorating a plant pot, or what type of pot it will be (terracotta, plastic, metal etc. ) I might look into possibilities of getting them printed.
In the meantime I've been doing some research into other ways of decorating them:
I saw these hand painted pots that are really simple, single colour, but really nice to look at. I think I could do a similar thing with my style of water-colour painting.
I really liked the look of these quite roughly designed pots with mosaic, again it could fit in with my texture/shape work, I could come up with some nice nature patterns with odd bits of mosaic.
These are wrapped with fabric which is quite a nice idea, I could try and print my illustrations onto fabric and then wrap around the pots which could work well.
And I thought along with the plant pot I could have a packet of plant seeds, with the type of flower illustrated by me on the packet along with the name then on the other side I could have my contact details. I just need to find what kind of flower seeds work well in small, indoor pots.
