Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
Hey Theresa, thanks. I have loads of Sharpies in all colors and widths and though I've used them on dominoes with alcohol inks I didn't think to be able to blend them that way on water color paper. I figured the way that ink saturates paper that once it's down that was it. COOL!

very cool. we are sharpie addicts here, can't wait to try this.
Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
I didn't even know they had sharpies in so many colors! Guess where I'm going, after the stores die down of course, to Staples to see that they have!!
Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
I've watched that one before. Way cool. Too bad they sell Copics here instead of Sharpies though. Sharpies are much cheaper.

Theresa you will be amazed at the sets that are available now. The last time I purchased one it had at least 24 colors and they have the fine tip at one end and extra fine tip at the other. Very, very nice colors too.

Theresa, like Jen said...Staples. Most office supply stores will have them. I think Target, WalMart etc also. I see them all over the place. $20 for 24 is terrific.

Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
Cool! Thanks for the info. I went into our local grocery store yesterday, the only store I dared to go into , and they had some, 10 for 4.99, but they were the fine point, which is still a good deal. So I bought those, but this weekend I'm going to go to staples and get the double ended ones... woohoo! New toy!
Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
So this is what I found today. I went into Staples, and saw the Sharpies, but Bic had a better deal and alot more colors. They were $19.99 with a $10 mail in rebate, so I got 36 markers for $9.99! Excellent deal! Their website looks really interesting too. I can't wait to play this weekend!

WOW, Theresa. Great find! Love the color variety. I bought the sharpies set some time ago and use them some.
Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
Wow is right! Great find Theresa! Thanks for the link. Wonder if they'll ship to me? off to find out!
Re: Copic Marker Techniques #2 -- Bic/Sharpie Markers??
The Bic version does look like a great find! I stopped at Office Depot yesterday to look for them, but they didn't have them. I'll have to take the longer trip to Staples to look for them!
