November 1, 2017 at 3:04 pmHi Dawn,
Thanks for the helpful post, have been looking at these markers for a while now, but am in Australia – struggling to find them here and shipping from elsewhere is exxy, so want to be sure before I buy them.
Have you tried these on any surfaces other than paper? I letter a lot on acrylic and marble tile and am wondering if these markers would be suitable? I usually use paint style markers so not sure if these would show up as well.
Have read your posts on white and gold pens and markers, I’m in search of a copper/bronze marker (which I believe this pen now comes in separately) and would also love a brush tip like this, save time doing faux calligraphy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
