A few fellow letterers have asked about the chalk backgrounds I’ve been using for some recent Pinterest posts. Actually those were created using a stock photo of a chalkboard as the base file and while that’s always an option, I thought I’d try creating a convincing chalkboard image myself (sorry iStock) and make it available here on Foolish Fire.
The folder includes a gray, blue and green version in .jpg format.







Just wanted to say thank you for providing these backgrounds! I’m using them to follow your chalkboard-lettering tutorial, with the intention of making labels for my etsy store’s products. I was not sure whether this fell under your realm of acceptable use (and I also wanted to thank you!), so I’m leaving this comment. I hope you’ll email me if you’d prefer I didn’t use these bases in a commercial sense!
Thank you in advance!
IS it ok to use these backgrounds in a small hand made commercial sense.. ?
This old mom is learning new tricks…thank you for sharing your expertise, so that others, like myself, may learn from you . I am so very grateful. What is the answer about using your fonts chalkboards commercially?
Godspeed,
Suzanne
