Are you a chalk artist? How do you know what type of chalks to use and when? Valerie McKeehan, author of "The Complete Book of Chalk Lettering" writes about her favorite brands, and of course, ButterStix made the list. Here is a clip of the section on what she wrote in the Huffington Post:
"I recently discovered this product and was excited to try it! Although I love working with dust, I realize some people have an aversion to it. If you want to use a chalkboard in your home, but find the dust unappealing, Butterstix by Jaq Jaq Bird is an excellent option. Unlike Anti-Dust, it is truly a zero dust chalk. I like to think of it as part chalk and part crayon. It feels waxy like a crayon and truly does write like butter as their slogan says!
Why I love it:
Butterstix is a great option if you’re looking to create smudge-free chalk art without sacrificing that beautiful chalky texture. Because of its unique consistency, butterstix will look like chalk on your chalkboard, yet not wipe off or smudge to the touch. To remove it, simply use a damp cloth. As with regular chalk, you can sharpen Butterstix with a pencil sharpener for more precision when drawing."
