JOURNALLING - PAINT MARKERS


Chisel tip
People ask me about paint markers for journalling.

Everyone online is mourning the discontinuation of Sharpie Poster Pens (opaque water-based paint pen which writes over ANYTHING - and which was virtually impossible to buy in the UK. Leastwise, I never found any).
Lumiere paint carefully applied with a brush and therefore a bit wobbly - and Ranger's white opaque pen (written over twice, to show up). How much easier if I'd had these new pens! Can't WAIT to try them!
However: I was looking at Kelly Kilmer's definitive Pen List earlier today, and she's found a substitute! Same manufacturer, different packaging: Uni Poscar Paint - for once, something readily available in the UK! Hurrah!

Bullet tip

Just Google for more links. The pens are also available on Amazon and eBay.

I'm off shopping - can't wait to try these!
