"Midtown" White Chalk Pencil by The Pencil Factory in Nashville, TN



Last month I was teaching in Fort Collins, Colorado at AlwaysBCreating. On the way there, I stopped at Two Hands Paperie in Boulder. I haven't been doing that much shopping because of everything going on this year. 

I was very happy to find a new toy, "Chalkboard" or "Midtown" White Chalk Pencils made by The Pencil Factory in Nashville, TN. As you can see below (on dried, black acrylic paint as well as the journaling, "she hides her secrets), the white is a vibrant white on dark acrylic paint. I've rubbed it with my finger and it doesn't go anywhere. I have not erased it but I will try that soon (it will lift the paint to some degree so I will do it on a test page. Apologies.) You can paint over it if you don't like it. For $14 for eight pencils, it was a good deal and I LOVE the vibrancy of the white.  

I've read different reviews that said it doesn't work on actual chalkboards, so there's your warning.
 


More on the white pencils here:
Hester & Cook Design (I have nothing to do with them. I only found them via a Google search. I have never ordered from them before.)
CW Pencil Enterprise (Same as I wrote above. An entire set or individual pencils can be found here.) 

Have you tried these pencils before? What did you think?
