First off, I picked up the shiny, new Aluminum Copic Marker Case, and I'm going to be writing up a review of it. I'll give you a heads-up though, I'm not impressed, and I likely will be returning it. On a related note, I'm going to share how I've been storing my Copics as well as my new storage that I just picked up today. Hopefully, I can get a nice how-to out this week as well.
I also recently tried out PanPastels for the first time, and I liked them enough to pick up a total of ten colors. They're pricey, but I found them on clearance (woohoo!), and I've been seeing some really great work with them for coloring page backgrounds. I'll be trying them on a few more pages before I give them a full review.
Finally, and the most exciting for me, my wonderful husband (who spoils me) bought me the 60-count box set of Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Brush Pens, and now that I've got my color chart finished, I can get to actually using them. I previously had the pastel six-pack, and I've enjoyed them quite a bit. I plan to do some coloring and give them a full review.
Lots to look forward to, so I'll see you again soon!
As a bonus, here's a picture of the cats enjoying their new window bird feeder!
