It says chalk signage but does NOT look like the ordinary chalk material im used to seeing?Although we all grew up with the original dry, drawing chalk for blackboards, the plain white & the mult-color types, i've appreciated but grew out of them. I use chalkboard ink markers, they are sort of a paint medium for projects. I LOVE, LOVE the clear, crisp lines that these type of chalk markers provide & im able to blend colors to create depth & vibrancy to any piece just like paint. Check out my “Chalk Gallery” below & see my past projects. I do not use projectors or stencils, everything is hand painted/drawn for you.

Are the chalk markers easy to erase from blackboard?Depends. If you request a sealant to be applied to preserve artwork then the answer is no. If no sealant is requested then the answer is yes. To remove chalk simply spray water to board or a cloth & wipe away. NOTE: Some lighter/bright colors may not erase cleanly or completely, leaving a slight “shadow-like” appearance of the art, but for the most part all art will be gone. If you would like your blackboard to be dark/clean again, you can spray with Rust-Oleum Specialty Flat Black Chalkboard spray or Krylon Chalkboard spray paint. I use these products typically to get a clean, crisp chalkboard surface before I start to create. They are very easy to use!
-
If I get my boards sealed can I get them back to a clean, clear, black chalkboard state?"Yes. Use the same products mentioned in above answer but just use more coats to get desired appearance.
-
Are the chalk markers easy to erase from mirrors?Yes. maybe too easy! I do not apply a sealant to these types of pieces so not to change the overall look of the artwork. NOTE: In saying this if you know you will be having an outdoor wedding/event, location/placement will be key due to weather conditions. Also humidity may be a villain to your mirror. The chalk marker ink is easily erased by a finger, cloth/wet cloth or if it has been on the mirror for awhile you can use clorox wipes & glass cleaner. FunFact: The clorox wipes & glass cleaner was informed to me by one of my brides who told me it was really hard for her to part with my artwork but needed to use the mirrors in her new home (as she planned) more than 6 months later. ~Thankyou Mila

Can I make a particular surface blackboard/chalk ink ready for a special design/project?Very possible! Contact me! We'll collaborate & figure something out. I love to be able to create “out the box” & even up-cycle something you have to create something fresh & new.
-
Do you or would you provide/rent/sell chalkboards?I only have a very small amount of boards to rent (mostly A-Frame)-which comes with added agreement contract & rental price will be included with your initial deposit. To expedite process: It is ideal to have me buy the boards & I will just include into the cost of project but price of boards will be due with your initial deposit. If you have your own boards*, OR newly bought have shipped directly to my home “DragonflyStudio” & take care of pick up process in any situation.
-
Do you use other mediums to create other than chalk ink?Yes. I can use other mediums on request IE: oil, acrylic etc. We can definitely talk about what your vision is with what with physically work.
