Hi,

A few days ago we had a discussion regarding Souffle pens. I went on my lunch hour and bought a set with a coupon from Joann's.

Just letting you know that I am taking them back today. I really did not like them. I would consider maybe buying one or two but not the whole set. I would day save your money on this.

Just my opinion, but I thought I'd let you know.

OOh thank you for the heads up. I didn't get out on Saturday like I had hoped to so that I could go to Hobby Lobby and get them with my coupon. I might just peek about online this afternoon and see if I can buy one or two individually!

Thanks!

If you are buying Sakura pens, I would suggest buying a "stardust" pen first. It is a fun way to add subtle glimmer to your images.

My local office supply sells gelly roll pens, and glaze pens. Most gelly rolls can be purchased individually, and the glaze pens come in packs of two.
Try the black and sepia glaze pens first before buying more.

I'm not sure you can buy souffle pens without buying the whole set. But I wouldn't buy the souffle pens is if you didn't really like the glaze pens. The souffle' pens are lighter and more translucent, in sherbet colors.

Me? Oh, I bought 'em all and love'em. I use them to "paint" butterfly wings on glossy cards stock. The ink dries slow on glossy, so it can be pushed around to a lighter hue with a damp paint brush.

I love the Sakura pens, did you make sure you let the ink flow first?
