Yard Art Day 2013
Remember Yard Art Day? Well happy happy, we did it again this year!
This time around we wanted to create something that had fewer steps, and required fewer power tools, but would hopefully make an equally large impact. I’ve been drawn to great street art lately, so we decided to take our inspiration from that.
We knew we didn’t want to create something permanent since it would be in front of our house, so instead of using paint we pulverized dozens of sticks of chalk in the blender, added water, and created chalk paint.

- Chalk + water in a blender. Much better.

- Potions class.

- Better than a whisk.

- Almost done!

- This might have been the last square!
A couple of hours later, we had a gorgeous, rainbow sidewalk!
And a couple of hours after that, we had a gorgeous, tie dyed sidewalk thanks to an unfortunately timed rainstorm.
But it didn’t matter one bit. We had so much fun creating it that it was almost sweet to watch it melt away.
Long live Yard Art Day!
