crikey! so has this been put up all at once with a big sheet of fablon?

jeeff: 4th Sep 2005 - 04:32 GMT

i think it's just stuck on with many strips of packing tape. what's fablon?

elaine: 4th Sep 2005 - 09:02 GMT

i couldn't see any joins, but yr probly right judging by the light on the creases and the scruffy edge down the side. fablon is a trade name for sticky backed plastic which comes in sheets and is used by old ladies and me for things like pretending the inside of drawers are new and things like that. i changed the front of an ikea chest of drawers with it recently and used to use the clear stuff to cover sketchbooks once i had collaged them. it would be a bit fiddly for a thing like this, but would mean you could attach all the pictures indoors and stick it up outside very quickly

ah yeah, i know the stuff you mean. that would probably be better than packing tape. personally, i'm a big fan of spray adhesives.

the idea of being desperate to find a chalk artist isn't something you consider every day. fascinating. im curious to know about this urgency...

jenna - sorry, i don't know any chalk artists personally. why do you need one? there is a guy called victor fraser who does sidewalk chalk art near yonge & bloor. he's been doing it for 16 years and has done work for some famous clients (nike, pearl jam, etc.). i don't know how to get in touch with him tho.

The things I draw come true ... Thats part of the Cartoon "Simon and the land of chalk drawnings" it was late 70's none Violent run of kids shows that didnt make us care less about others. Unlike the stuff now .. just a waste of kids minds for the most part..

How old are kids that watched Barny now..?? we gotta watch out for those ones :)
