I'm seriously contemplating spending some time outside this summer with a bucket of chalk. I already found the perfect kit. It comes with polka dot chalk, striped chalk, marbleized chalk and chalk holders, which are genius. Why weren't those around when I was a kid? To think, I spent all those afternoons scraping my knuckles on pavement for the sake of art.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen chalk so vibrant (apart from the very expensive dry pastels which I'd never waste on the sidewalk), so I just googled and found out you can make sidewalk chalk from plaster of paris and tempera paints. Totally doing this now!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! i'll have to buy some chalk and plan fun projects with the hubs! That will make summer so much better!

I love this!!! Have you seen 3-D chalk? It's pretty amazing!!!! I'm in love with all things chalk and must stop using chalkboard paint on all walls of my apartment...haha
ReplyDeleteI actually used to do that! Color the payment with chalk. I loved it but my mom wasn't the biggest fan of my "artwork" as she was always the one who had to hose it down. ;)
