First Time Use of Copic Markers

[Laura Duet]

Last Sunday I bought 4 Copic Markers: a skin tone, blue, pink, and yellow.

Yesterday I used them for the first time and I am SO IMPRESSED!!!!

They are easy to use! When using them for the first time my coloring came out beautifully!!!!

I am now hooked and want to buy more. I got them at Dick Blick for $5 dollars each.

A few weeks ago my semi-local stamp store had a package of 12 for around $50 dollars. The color family they had was too bold for me. They had a package called Deco on order. Has anyone heard of these being sold in packs of 12? Is it really true that Hobby Lobby has them?

I am so excited!!!!

You my want to check with Kim at My Favorite Things. She carries 2 different sets. They are just wonderful to work with. She is great to deal with as well.

Rubber Hugs (or is that Photo Polymer as rubber is passe)

Why are the copic markers so much better than others? I have only heard of them very recently and would like to know why they are so good.

They are blend with each by themselves and no lines when coloring.

No lines when coloring is a big deal to me!!! Every other marker I have seen used looked awful compared to these!

Hobby Lobby does carry them in open stock. It's taking a long time but I use my 40% coupons whenever they're available. They're about $6 each so the coupon is of paramount importance to me. http://carpediemstore.com has great prices on them too.

I love 'em all but by far the best imo is the "flesh white"...it's the best color I've ever found for caucasian skin tone!
