Stained Glass Sidewalk Chalk

I'm sure some of you have seen this picture going around Facebook:

And if not, now you've seen the basic concept. Since it was so beautiful here in DC today, we decided to give it a try, but use a chalk spray bottle to give it more of a watercolor effect and work on strengthening the muscles of the hand. Things started out well, the tape kept ripping but I figured that would make it look more interesting when I took it off.
Unfortunately it began to rain right as I finished the project, so I had to abandon ship and come inside. I took a picture later of the post rain result. I would recommend coloring with a stick of chalk next time, even if the spray bottle is good for building strength!

Nailed it? No matter how the end project looked, I felt calmer and more grounded after the time outside working on it.

Have you tried this project? Drop us a line in the comments and tell us how yours turned out.
