    OMG!!! Just today someone asked me if I could write their menu on their new blackboard. Isn't it a serendipity or what??? Thank you sooo much, this is going to make my work much easier. I didn't know any of the tips but the sharpener one. Love you to the moon and back, Becca😁😘

    Another helpful tip is for when you need to really clean your chalkboard : use a soft cloth or non scratch sponge, dampen it in vinegar and wipe away... repeat if necessary. At the end you will have a residue free, chalk free, streak free board

    Hi Becca! Love love love all of your tips! I don’t know if this question really applies to this but.. how can you prevent ghosting when using a chalk marker/pen? I season every board but when it comes time to take off the marker-it always shows up! No matter how I clean it off!! If you know/could show us a quick tip video of this you would be a life saver! (I end up having to re-paint them with chalk paint to get a clean background... sooo time consuming) Thanks for all you do! I love learning new things from you-so easy to follow.. and I feel like we’re friends bc you mess up and laugh about it. Keep it up girl!

  • @cordialgreetingsart
    @cordialgreetingsart 3 роки тому

    I recently learned about the transfer technique because I had a hard logo with some serifs that were tricky. I searched on youtube and couldn't find it within your videos but found it elsewhere.
    The eraser technique I never knew about and duh sharpening chalk would be a game changer! Nice tip! I love your videos and how you're completely down to earth.

  • @genevievecaissiee9967

    Yes! Exactly what I needed. I'll be doing chalk for the first time for my own signs as a vendor! I didn't know #3 and #5 and my mouth was wide open. Especially when you said to transfer the logo, cause that's what I wanted to do and this is going to save me so much time just like you said. Thank you so much! Love this video! It made me laugh and smile and I learned.
