Small nice show articles can be made by chalk carving method. The tools used for carving are easily available in the house, for eg, a rounder from the geometry box and a paper cutter. Carving should be done with sensitivity and delicacy, as the chances of chalk breaking are great. For variety, different color chalks can be used. Mostly porous chalks should be avoided as they have a lot of bubbles, which disturb the shape of the carved designed article.
