Yes, there are such things. I was at Walmart looking for more of those amazing journalism pens from Elmars, but apparantly, Walmart doesn't carry them. However, I stumbled across these markers that look similar and decided to buy the prettiest pack (they are also sold individually at the sam unit price)- the Sherbet Swirl pack (I know I spelled the title wrong in my last card post guys...:) plus a gold paint marker. Apparantly, these markers are filled with real acrylic paint, yet works just like a marker. Confirmed! The paint in these arkers are just like regular acrylic- they are a bit thicker than water- based markers, so you have to make several layers for full coverage, dry quickly, and don't let you see your streaks. That's good. The sad thing is they do bleed on copy paper after about 2 layers. They don't bleed if you let the first 2 layers dry, then add your other layers accordingly. And like paint, the paint does occaisionally pick up, but not much. Now for the gold...
- Bleeds slightly and strangely evenly after one layer of color
- Great, solid coverage-like a journalism pen
- Semi-shiny aka does imitate gold lining
- You have to shake and press down often!
Caution: The tips of these markers are pretty soft, so if you poke like a needle on it, there will be a hole!
They work lightly on wood, ceramic, pottery, metal. paper, plstic, fabrics, and glass?
Hmm, I wonder how well they work on glass... be back in a moment to test this out...
Verdict: They do work! However, the coverage is semi-solid, and easily removable.
All in all, pretty great buy!
Hope this helps with any qualms you have against purchasing paint markers- oh, and they're $2.50 each.
Have a good day, and see everyone next post!
