SuMMer's RoBoTs pink


I have been having SO much Fun
with the Shrink PLaStic.

The one I like the best is
the CrysTal CLear.
I'm really diggin the Ink JeT,
and am loOking forward to
trying the Frosted!


I used the Ink Jet for this RoBoT.

 It's White, like a stack of bonded paper.
You run it through your printer.
I just used my Sharpies.
{it will suck the ink dry from the markers}

I tried running the Crystal Clear
through the printer...no Luck.
The ink just wouldn't dry for me.

                
I did a quick RainBow backing so
it wouldn't be glaring!

I used the CrySTaL CLear for this one.

These are the cutest ever.
The biggest problem I'm having
is an appropriate jump ring opening
without compromising the head.
I've pretty much got it down.

If you use Stamps for these projects,
make sure it is a WaterPrOOf / PeRmAneNt ink!!!
I use and have been very haPPy with
Stayzon Ink.

I've only used the BLacK so far,
but am, dying {oh no she di~ent!}
to get my hands on the others;
especially that
BLacK CheRRy
and
Fuchsia Pink.


Both Hobby Lobby and Michael's carry the
Shrink PLastics
and
Stayzon Ink
{and don't forget to download the
coupons for both stores on your phone
to use at checkout!}

Make sure and check if any
of your LoCaL Craft stores carry it.

Priscilla's Earthly Delights ~

 I ♥ Sharpies!
 
It's quite amazing I never ended up 
a Graffiti Artist considering how much 
I used to love to doodle.

These ultra fine point Sharpie markers
are like catching a Rainbow in Ink.
{although, I wouldn't recommend tasting them}
I'd use them to write in my journal 
if they didn't bleed through.
The 24 assorted pack is just da bomb.


and the lovely sparkle to this hand grenade of art 
is the 80s Glam Special Addition markers.

slam, I'm back in HigH school...
I used to have a socks and a sweatshirt
in those same colors!

snapsnapsnap! back to the post at hand...

I use my Sharpies for much of my art. 

They are great for staining
the edges of paper cutouts. 
The ultra fine point slides along
the edge smoothly and easily.
The subtle bleeding makes the images really stand out.

Apparently they are great for drawing intricate on dough ornaments, as I will be finding out in a few weeks...

I'm playing around with the Sharpies 
on Illustration Board, 
and Ink.
and of course, 
they are just Delightful! for Children of all ages 
to draw tattoos on them Selves...
hey, it's cheaper than real Ink!

Priscilla says they'll do in a pinch for eyeliner...
or X marks the spot.
{in response to my query about marking spots,
all I received is a sly smile}

The 24 pack is not terribly expensive,
and they do last quite awhile.
The prices range from $17 to $20.
If you have other Artistic personas in the house,
it would BeHooVe you,
to invest in more than one pack.
Also available in Caribbean CoLors,
and Regular CoLors.
You can order Individual Pens online.

So have a festive colorful Holiday Journey, and make sure the kids decorate the tree and not themselves.
