Creating "Hippie Chic" with Art Anthology

Hi friends...it's my turn today to inspire you with a fun "hippie chic" piece created using Art Anthology paints... I just love the vibrant colors and free spirited feel about bohemian decor.  Even though the "boho" look is warm earthy colors as well as metallics, such as browns, terra cotta, gold etc, jewel tones are very popular like purples, oranges, electric blue & magentas are very popular in decor and accesories, and that is the road I decided to take today.
 
I started off with this ceramic elephant that I found in a thrift store for only $1.00 and I knew immediately he was going to be adorned in bright pretty colors. 

Art Anthology has an array of gorgeous colors and textures of the paints allow you to get some amazing results. 

I decided to create my own collage papers by painting tissue paper and then applying it using Mod Podge to my to pot... 
The flowers were also handmade and sprayed with gorgeous jewel tone colors to accents my piece. And to finish off, I added assorted sequins and pom pom trim . Fun project to create, and I got some messy time with my paints which is always rewarding. 

 For a full product list, please visit my post on Art Anthology blog and for a step x step tutorial sit back, grab yourself some chai tea and enjoy my Snapguide tutorial below...
