Flickr favorites

1. chalk drawing - Explored (and didn't know it) Sept. 26, 2008 (#481), 2. Untitled, 3. Chalkboard Wall Calendar, 4. vintage chalkboards

I love chalk and chalkboards. They are great to write down ideas & erase them again when they don't work out. They are fun for shoppinglists, writing silly stuff on them or a wonderful inspirational quote. They are great additions to any home -except for the dust they bring in.
Chalk gives kids lots of fun in summer while they make exceptional art on the streets.
I made a little how to make sidewalk chalk the other day. Check it out! :)

If you like to play this week, make your mosaic and add a link to your blog or Flickr in Mister Linky. I'll pop over to have a look at yours. Can't wait to see your creations and find new favorites! :)

    I am a huge fan of chalkboards but you cannot have it every day with little kisd in the room, it's just too much mess :)
    We like to draw on the sidewalk or on the terrace stones in our backyard. It's much bigger, lots of fun and easy to clean :)

    Since my kid discovered chalk, we have "art" on every sidewalk, outside wall, patio furniture and even the dogś fur...Kid does not stop!

    I love the wall calendar, I wish I had a big wall to try it out on, I like the fact it's black and gray it's so graphic.
