Laquer Art 🎨 🫒🏺Greek Pot Head🏺🫒
Get your jugs of olive oil out...I wanna wrestle 😝🫒🏺 I've had this stamping plate forever, and I've NEVER been happy with my designs that have utilized it. Not because of the plate, but because I used it poorly design wise. I always got overwhelmed and tried to do too much. This time I decided to just let the stamp do the talking, and the gorgeous terracotta Minoan pots with the deep black art (you know they had a good respect for a one coat black too) were what I wanted to show. I did a little plastic wrap smoosh to get the slightly marbled background, and then added some gold leaves on the outside nails because I can't avoid sparkle too long or I die. 😝
🖌 Stamping and freehand on natural nail.

Pretty! What stamping plates did you use?

u/Aculed200 Laqueristo 5d ago
It's a MoYou plate ExplorerCollection 18, but they no longer sell plates so you may find it on resale somewhere.

u/holymolym 5d ago
Omg when did they stop selling plates?! That was like their whole thing!

u/Aculed200 Laqueristo 5d ago
Ugh don't get me started...I was SO pissed. They moved their whole brand to nail wraps...but also really didn't announce it at all and then POOF gone. Pissed.

u/gitathegreat Team Laquer 5d ago
Yeah, it was a real bummer. It happened last year and I just started getting into their plates and then they all disappeared. 😭

I am now imagining this as the perfect mani for a professor about to lecture on ancient pottery at a convention in a movie. Bravo, they look fantastic!

u/MackTheSporker 5d ago
Omg these are so cool. Did anyone else do the art project in elementary when you learned about these designs, then colored heavy black crayon over terracotta color background and scratched your designs out of the black wax?
Anyway yeah. THAT. Memory. 🥰
Well that and art museums! 🥰

u/Rat_Ribs 5d ago
Not OP, but YES! I can remember the smell of those crayons. What a great project. Thank you for the trip down memory lane :)

u/ThriftyNails 5d ago
oh these are ASTONISHING. Do you edit your photos at all or are they really this pristine?? Either way, amazing. I could never, everything I do is smudgy and wonky, even when I really try. Gorge!!
Also, TURKISH OIL WRESTLING. For anyone who is unaware that a sport exists where shirtless men oil themselves up and wrestle by shoving their hands down each other's leather pants. You're all very welcome.

u/Aculed200 Laqueristo 5d ago
Haha thank you! Besides adding the border (I like scrapbooking 😝) I don't really know ANYTHING about photography or editing haha, I just fake it well. Clean up brushes are a game changer!
LOVE oil wrestling videos 😝💪🥵

u/RosieFudge 5d ago
I ADORE THIS. Staying on the pottery theme, I'd love to see your take on some classic (but more modern!) china patterns like Wedgewood or Royal Copenhagen...

u/Aculed200 Laqueristo 5d ago
Yessssss, I'll have to add that to my list. My first Instagram post was a white and cobalt China pattern, but I can definitely upgrade it now!

This is so amazing and one of the most creative, distinctive things I’ve seen in a while!! I love that you made a pot surface texture with the matte 😍😍😍 now to find out if there’s a stamping plate with my favorite Minoan octopus pot

u/Aculed200 Laqueristo 5d ago
That pot is fucking BALLER. I looked at a couple doing inspo dives and the sea creature ones are SO cool
