writing on the wall

since i can't figure out how to load an image off Flickr, i'll post a sample of my wall writing. next to envelopes, my favorite thing to write on is the wall. the bird houses are actual wren houses, to give you an idea of the scale. i use those little bottles of acrylic craft paint because they come in so many colors, therefore, no mixing required. i have purchased two sign painter brushes with long bristles, called liners (i think). i make preliminary sketches on the wall in chalk, paint, let it dry, brush off the chalk. quick, easy, fun. only one rule: don't start with a white wall. if i can't put in white highlights, i don't think it ever looks right. as my friend mary says: that is just my opinion, but i am right.
