Really nice work Claire. May I ask what kind of chalks/pastels you use and what type of paint you use for the blackboards? They seem really vivid in comparison to what I have done.

Hey great site, lovely work! I grew up with the family that has Rosati's pizza here 90 miles NW of Chicago, just wondered if it was theirs! (but they may be relations) Claire, I would also be interested in which type of chalk you use as the colors are very vivid and nice; what do you seal it with, may I ask?

Thanks all for the kind words everyone... sign makers everywhere from 15km away from me all the way to Europe...cool!
Susan: you are from Nanaimo! Just a hop across the water!
Deb: I do think that could be the same one maybe... I have quite a few chalkboards around Chicago! Go figure!
Kelly (and Deb): I use a mixed medium for the artwork and seal with an acrylic sealer... I used to use mdf and blackboard paint, but it stank to high heaven and I just didn't want to poison myself with the off gases!!
