Me alegro que te guste. La verdad es que la tiza no es tan fácil como creí. Cuesta pegar las tizas; yo usé cola blanca, pero puse bastante, porque con el polvillo que sueltan no hay manera de que queden unidas. También cuesta pintar, porque absorbe mucha pintura. Con la capa de imprimación se resuelve, pero creí que podría ahorrármela ;)
Para los siguientes muros, he echado laca de pelo a las diferentes piezas (imagino que ayudará a que no pierda polvillo), a ver si es más fácil pegar y pintar. También intentaré pintarlos como se explica en este video de Woodland Scenics:
Very nice effect, and a good idea. Too bad it is problematic to work with the material. Was it easy enough to carve that it is worth the effort? It looks like the paint did stick eventually.
I can see it could just as well form whole buildings, castles, towers or walls in different scale, or many things with imagination.
My alternate would be to sculpt from clay or carve from wood, and then if the piece is useful enough to have in mass, consider making a mold from it to make copies using plaster, which is relatively cheap and easy once it is all set up. Again, woodland scenics can help with that mold idea, like you mentioned. Of course, that part's not so cheap maybe.
You're right, chalk is not as easy material to work with. It is difficult to glue, (because of the dust loose). It is also hard to paint, because it absorbs too much paint.
I will use hairspray with my next walls. I imagine that will prevent loss of dust, and will be easier to glue and paint it.
That´s a good idea!!!!!It looks like real stone

Me ha sorprendido el material que has utilizado... no tiene que ser fácil trabajar con él. Sin embargo, el acabado es fenomenal!
ResponEliminaThanks Paul, I'm glad you like that chalk wall.

Thank you for your comment, mekelnborg.

Muy interesante tu aportacion al mundo de las manualidades , que veo se te dan muy bien.
ResponEliminaMa has dejado "de piedra".... ;)
ResponEliminaBuena Idea! Ni me cruzo por la mente utilizar tizas para hacer muros.... inclusive Castillos, casas campesinos o puentes.
ResponEliminaGreat idea!
