Chalk Works


Yesterday, to while the time away, me and my wife painted the chalk casts of Sesame Street characters we bought sometime ago in a flea market in Manila. The result is pictured above. They are not exactly works of arts- well, the casts are actually giveaways for a milk formula for toddlers on a promotion several months ago, and somehow the unused items must have been sold instead. Even the water colors that came in the boxes with the casts have dried-up and would not mix even with hot water. Nevertheless, it provided us a good time together at home and at the same time relieved me of stress from work (blame it on my new graveyard shift). It sure was a delight to see all three casts done well. The activity took no more than an hour to finish, but it was one quality time together that we could be reminded of everytime we see the casts. The only thing is that we couldn't get a cast of my favorite Sesame Street character- Elmo.
