Chalkboard Fascination..

Since I was in grade school, chalkboards were always a love of mine.  I especially loved it when the teacher asked me to come write on the board and then at the end of the day as Teacher's helper I got to take the erasers outside and clean them.  Getting all the chalky dust on my clothes and hands.  I looked like Casper the Ghost.  HA!

Soooooo, how could I resist creating chalkboards as an adult? I couldn't!  I just recently listed my first two chalkboard creations in my Etsy shop.  But not just your ordinary chalkboards, these are done in customized colors.
The first one is a gorgeous shade of Peach.  Hard to believe it is a chalkboard, but trust me, it is.  :)

The fabric flower and eraser are handcrafted as well.

How about a soft sage green chalkboard?  Done!  How about adorning it with buttons and a mini handcrafted satin fabric flower?  Done!


OK, two done, now onto doing more! and more! and more!  All in an array of awesome colors, shapes and sizes. Can you tell I am excited? *smile*

For my readers in the states, wishing you a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend!

For my International readers, have an awesome weekend!

  2. Hi debi,

    Thanks!

    It is a customized chalkboard paint that I made. You can buy black, gray, green chalkboard paint already made up, but I didn't want to go that route. I wanted something exciting.

    I can create the chalkboard paint in any color.

  4. The peach has been my favorite so far. I just finished chalkboards in light pink, mauve and country blue. I am having too much fun with these. :)
