What a Day for a Daydream.....

Yes it is a day for a daydream....or at least to veg on the couch. It's rainy & dark & suppose to be nasty all day. And for most of the afternoon, i will be on the couch, but with laptop at hands. This is part of my new schedule for Monday. Writing my blog & catching up on computer work plus, by staying downstairs on the couch, i can do laundry at the same time. Again....thanks to all who gave me great input on my scheduling. =)
I have used my new Sharpie Oil Base Paint Markers. As stated last week, i purchased  a black fine tip & a black medium at Michael's.

GOOD RESULTS:

<><   It didn't take very long for the paint to get to the tip & ready to use.

<><   It was very easy to use & went smoothly onto the product.

<><   Dried quickly to the touch.

<><   Used on top of paint (as i would usually use it) there was no bleeding. The color was vivid.

BAD RESULTS:

<><   It did bleed on non treated unfinished wood. I did kind of expect this & i don't normally use a paint pen this way, but just wanted to see for sure if it would or not.

UNKNOWN RESULTS - ONLY TIME WILL TELL.....

<><   Whether the paint pen will glob & become hard to use.

<><   Whether the paint will fade. It does claim to be fade resistant

All in all, i did really like the was the pen performed & will be completing my set of them. At Michael's, my total purchase for both pens, plus tax, was $7 - $8. I've spent a little time in price checking & have found a much better price on U.S.Art Supply.  http://www.usartsupply.com/sharpie/default.aspx . 

Extra Fine & Fine $1.85

Medium $1.96

Bold $2.66

On a different note...a lot of friends are doing Christmas in July promotions this month. I will get there pretty soon, but before Christmas is Halloween. So my promotions are for.....
