The spirits say... one is on the way.... Marc thanks for hand making these in the style I prefer, this will be an excellent complement. I'm actually excited to receive them as I have been waiting for a set that looks authentic.

I never had slates before because I never liked the look of them. But these jumped right off the page at me. These look like real school slates.....

Any tips for putting the chalk writing on the slates so that it does not smudge and the chalk from one side of the flap does not appear on the other slate? I suppose I could make the marking permanent with white paint or spray with mat or clear artist spray... anyone have a tip?

Dear Sillymagician,
This would be one of those things I'd say take downstairs to avoid having to dance around method on the answer, but I see you're a few posts shy yet. I think the routine takes care of any chalk, but PMed you and will certainly include any insights we come up with in the crypt. Also, anyone with a set, reviews and suggestions welcome. I'm adding to the instruction manual, and will include and credit any good ideas anyone wants to share. If you already have a set, pm me and I'll make sure you get a PDF of the 2.0 instructions when they are ready (10 days or so). Marc |

Hermit,
the short answer is no, but check the crypt for that discussion. Thanks for your interest, Marc |

Driving down to Baltimore with six sets to hand deliver to Denny&Lee tomorrow. Up late and excited as a little kid! Two are spoken for, and I have a couple more in production. Café members can PM me about those as well.

I may have missed out on Marc's 1st batch, but jumped on the spare one when he posted he made more. Received it yesterday as I was just about to head out for the day, I eagerly opened up the well packaged box. !st of, Marc made VERY sure that no damage would happen to these best on his end when shipping. Tightly & safely wrapped together, I finally got them out, Marc's pic doesn't do these justice !! Came with chalk, a hanky to wipe slates & an info with couple routines.
The slates themselves are,.....AWESOME ! Love the aged look of the frame & the slates, even the f!*p looks like slate up close ! I really love how light & real looking these are if your wanting or needing spirit slates of "old". I have a m*gn*t!c set of slates & the usual heavy-ish, but they look too new,.... I have & use mostly stuff from Outlaw, Gemini Artifacts, Lebanon Circle & Alchemy Moon, etc so these fit right in with my old bizarre Hauntiques Will be making a pouch for these out of an old burlap sack piece I have to really keep that look going. Would also like to say that Marc's craftsmanship,care & attention to detail shows in these ! They have that same care, love & craftsmanship as the above mentioned shops we all know with the items they make for us. My reg work is home remodel & I do carpentry & well as build animatronics & props for Halloween, so I appreciate Marc's dedication to making these spirit slates with real slate & sharing / selling them, I'm not easily impressed when it comes to something made by hand.....& Marc has made some really awesome slates Marc was very prompt when he shipped & received them with 2 days priority shipping. Very happy with them & looking forward to having some spirit slate fun with these **However Marc, I do have one major complaint / problem & dilemma with your slates.......trying to find a reason to keep my m*agn3t!c ones now.....LoL Thank you Marc for sharing your creation with us & your idea of a spirit slate thread in the crypt about routines & uses is a great idea, rather than with which ones are best to buy. |

Thanks so much for the kind words. You've inspired to make more of these.
I see Denny is down to one set, but I just finished two more. If anyone is interested, PM me. |

Received an eNewsletter from Denny that he just received a new shipment of the school spirit slates. The smart people had called and pre-order the slates from Denny, but he still has three more that are up for grabs for those who act fast. If you miss out on this batch give Denny a call to reserve your spot on the next batch. Happy haunting.

They are good quality and realistic. I recommend them (for what that's worth).

I can't recommend these highly enough. They are exactly what I was looking for in a set of slates. I didn't need anything to lock...there are plenty of ways around that...I wanted genuine looking props that could sell an idea. And for me, the idea is authenticity. These do the job.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I'm making six more sets right now, encouraged by all the kind praise on these. Will be delivering some to Denny the second Saturday in November. Café members are welcome to pm me as well for availability and save shipping cost.
I hadn't intended to make this many (working on sets 27-30) but how can I not when they seem so popular?! Marc |

I also have a rather unusual set if anyone is interested. Notice the while line in the picture below -- it's actually a vein on white stone embedded in the slate. Never seen another like it, and it's a great way to show a spectator these are real stone -- worth pointing out on other words, and to me up close it looks like some kind of rip in the cosmic fabric. Considered keeping them as a second set, and will if there is no interest because of the visible "flaw." My slates have have lots of little miscolorations in the stone, but this one big and noticible. No problem at all in my routine as chalk hides it just fine -- it is after all part of the smooth slate surface -- but other routines may need special handling so I don't want to sell this one without due notice.
Please pm me if interested. Thanks, Marc Click here to view attached image. |

You know, when I think about the patter possibilities, I'm keeping these, but that means my original set I kept for myself is available, with a brand-new flap. PM me if you want them. They are the set in the original photo posted in Café and on Denny's site.
