this past weekend at the Red Carpet Scrapbook Convention here in Mobile, AL, i had the
wonderful pleasure to meet a licensed Copic instructor, Debra Dunn!
instant connection & she is such a sweetheart!!!
small world too that she is from my nearby hometown of Huntsville, AL.
well, i squeezed in between my class a quicky quick demo to play with them & the different nibs thanks to Debra, a sales rep for Copic & Advantus.
anyhoo, i was quite perplexed with all the rage in how wonderful & above they are over other markers.
to my amazement...i'm HOOKED & must start my stash of colors & marker tips that range from Sketch, Copic, Ciao, Wide and plus these markers are re-fillable plus the possibility to blend & shade with them!
these are FAR ABOVEEEEE your Crayola, Sharpie, etc...they are bright, vivid, true pigment,
plus, you can even airbrush with Copic!! :)
i've always had a huge fascination with Japanese comic books and to know
these markers originated in Japan and are used by art illustrators & Manga artists, i was even MORE hooked because of my love to draw!
i'm imagining all the options to explore in my projects with these & more so because they will go perfectly with my addiction of stamps, right?!!! :)
oh, what a beautiful combo!!
check out these cool samples using Copic...

i love them too!!! i just wish my wallet did too!
I love copics too! I only have 3 colors in one shade. I took a class at my LSS a few weeks ago b/c I wasn't sure exactly how you use them and the history and I was so amazed!! I am too addicted - but man they are expensive. I did find a site where you can get them for under $5 :)
they are amazingggggggg!
and so worth every penny (oops dollar...) :)
