I'm all for trying the working method, though, since ASCP costs and arm and a leg!

But, thank you especially for your up-close photos of the finished pieces. I was thinking of trying to make my own, but I have so many <a href="http://www.chalkpaintideas.com" rel="nofollow">chalk paint ideas</a>, that I can't wait to get started on! I love just opening a can (or mixing my own colors) and just getting started. I also know what quality I will end up with when I'm done, and, being a fellow Type-Aer, I spend a lot of time on my projects...getting them just right. If I did all that only to have the paint peel off and have white calcium carbonate in it...I'd be so upset!! ASCP is definitely worth the piece of mind.Chalk Paint Ideas Ladyhttp://www.chalkpaintideas.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619090339928931796.post-72370467738603604402011-10-26T19:45:57.502-07:002011-10-26T19:45:57.502-07:00Good info!

This is so much easier and the paint is more like ASCP. Doesn's show brush lines, dries fast, and I mix it by adding leftover paint to gesso and shaking it up in a mason jar with plastic lid. Try it, you'll like it...so much easier.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619090339928931796.post-23890627246206523892011-10-22T01:26:42.116-07:002011-10-22T01:26:42.116-07:00I made chalk paint to--with plaster of paris.

But who knows if it was like chalk paint because right now, spending that kind of a dough on a little can is out of the question no matter how many people swear it's economical. I'd have to save my fun money for three months just to buy it. <br /><br />I think light colors are key--and maybe don't do furniture since it requires more finishing to make durable.
