Last weekend I did a new wall to welcome seven brave souls who came to learn about lettering with chalk at the "Chalk Lettering Dust-Up". It got good and dusty around here as we worked both on black foam board and on chalkboard-painted masonite boards. In the morning we transferred pre-made sketches to the boards. The short phrases were mostly from Patti Digh's book Four Word Self Help. Everyone did a great job, and each board had a very distinctive look!

Before lunch, we each personalized our chalkboard painted wine glasses using chalk pencils! Aren't their designs wonderful?!?

In the afternoon we created our own designs in pencil and transferred them. 

 ...and we ended with an art show on the back patio! Aren't they amazing?!?

 

Doesn't it make you want to grab a piece of chalk and start writing???
