Step 1
Lina Eckstrand is an artist and interior designer who loves to refinish old furniture. She has a vintage goods store named WackyGoose in Gothenburg, Sweden. Lina creates a lot of art using chalk paint that she sells in her shop and over the internet. She was very impressed with Chalkola Premium Wet Wipe Markers.![old furniture](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_old_furniture.png?5569679954939816879)
Step 2
Lina opens the mailer containing the Chalkola chalk markers. She is very interested in trying out the jumbo window markers with the 3 in 1 nib.![jumbo window markers](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_jumbo_window_markers.png?15757840474980091984)
Step 3
After vigorously shaking the blue marker, Lina presses the tip down firmly on the plastic. She watches as the ink begins to saturate the nib.![blue marker](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_blue_marker.png?9232167107230916190)
Step 4
The closest non porous surface at hand is the plastic package of Chalkola markers so that’s what Lina uses for her first experiment. She prints big, bold letters in Swedish with a heart to punctuate it. Lina is pleased with the bright color and with how smoothly the ink flows.![bright color](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_bright_color.png?16153869081375297665)
Step 5
Now she is seeing if clean up is really as simple as the box says. She uses a damp cloth to wipe away the color, noting that it does smear at first but it is simple to wipe away.![wipe away](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_wipe_away.png?16518794485007816063)
Step 6
Lina is impressed with how all the color is gone, leaving no residue or smears on the surface.![no residue](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_no_residue.png?15452085646157719801)
Step 7
She plans to make a whiteboard out of a picture frame she recently bought at a flea market. Then she will have an ideal surface with which to have some fun with the Chalkola markers.![picture frame](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_picture_frame.png?11223091391613502520)
Step 8
She intends to use a piece of white paper in place of a photo for the frame.![piece of white paper](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_piece_of_white_paper.png?8595962270234554266)

Step 10
She then places the paper in the frame on top of the glass and replaces the back.![frame on top of the glass](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_frame_on_top_of_the_glass.png?1319291621549240016)

Step 14

Step 15
Lina adds a smile to the face of the sun in her whimsical drawing. Once Chalkola ink dries it’s easy to add extra details.![whimsical drawing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0836/2349/t/8/assets/description_image_whimsical_drawing.png?1258173509545369956)
