How to: Find some wood you would like to use - and paint it using chalkboard paint, let dry. Then using the motifs shown here, they enlarged them on a copier to the desired size and then using a white carbon; (I found instructions on how to make your own here), they transferred the image onto the surface and then painted over the image with a fine paintbrush and white paint. But I'm thinking you could also enlarge using a copier to the desired size onto acetate (some copiers will take an acetate in the side feeder) - if not, follow instructions from this video here, and then cut out the design using an exacto knife, creating a stencil - and then painting it that way. Whatever the case, inspiration for the weekend. Have a nice one! (Photo by Louis Gaillard; Idea by Celeste Bouchayer for Marie Claire Idees Magazine).

Nice idea! I love chalkboards
Nice project. I must find this chalkboard paint, seems really great!

The images are terrific... makes me think of a Victorian era botanicals assignment drawn out for the teacher on a piece of slate. Very charming actually!
