This is my project for this month's challenge at Creative Artiste. I made a chalk board for keeping track of my craft supplies shopping.
This is what I started with, a old wooden calendar holder I found at a thrift store. I added some cardboard corners to allow me to add more findings.
Most of my findings came from garage sales, thrift store and the dollar store. I added all of my findings to the project with heavy matter gell then painted them all with grey gesso. After the Gesso had dried I used ink sprays to add colour and Tin Pewter acrylic paint to highlight the findings and give the project shine.
