Thank you for your suggestions. I sketched on a vine...couldn't make it work, sketched on a few notes, couldn't get the to work, so I took it to my students last night and threw out some suggestions...here is what I came up with. First,I cut down the left side of the block where the bird is, then painted a small frame around, it still needed something, so I painted the jute and nail. I'm happy with it now. I'll be putting this on Ebay, later today.

This has chalkboard paint in the middle, It has just a bit of metallic paint on it, can you see it ,oops, looks a little dirty, but its just the metallic paint that I used to make the crackles show up.

Good morning Laurie!
Hope your having an awesome Friday and will have a wonderful weekend to come! We are getting sunshine, so I hope to paint this weekend! YEA!
I love your things, I tell you that all the time, but I do! You have such fun creations!
My mothers name is Marian! She never liked her name until recently, she thought it sounded too old fashioned, she is only 64, and a great Mother!
Blessings, Donna Lynn
What's funny is that you've made chalkboard painted surfaces appealing to me again- being a kindergarten teacher, I've had chalk and especially chalk HANDPRINTS all over my clothes...one of those occupational fashion hazards- that I was never a fan of having to launder. But every time I check in, lo and behold, there's another treasure made fabulous with chalkboard paint. :)
Mom's name is Patricia, "Pat..." though she's "Mom," or "Awww, Mom..." when it comes to me and my sister. "Grammy" when it comes to her grandchildren.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This is really pretty! I couldn't believe the nail and jute weren't real either. Wish I lived close enough to take lessons from you - you're sooo very talented.
Have a wonderful Friday, OK?

Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog. I always love hearing from you! I am so very amazed at your chalkboard designs! Just when I think they can't get any cuter, they do! I've sent a few e-mails, but no reply. I'm worried you aren't receiving them? Please do e-mail if not, TheLilBirdStudio@aol.com. I'd love to send some of that aqua glitter your way and need your addy. Have a blessed mother's day today!
