Copic glitter markers

Has anyone tried these markers?

I have a few of the Copic Spica markers, and while I haven't used them a lot, I like them better than any other "glitter pens", because the glitter stays where it is supposed to (e.g., not on your clothes or face or, worse yet, in your eyes!)

And Dani carries them in a set!

I'm with Diane, I like them more than any other glitter pens and I have tried a lot!

I like them. I think they add a nice amount of sparkle without the "chunkiness" of glitter. And they seem to last longer than the American Crafts glitter pens.

But I have both. I think the Copics nibs are harder and are better for writing and small areas. But the AC pens nibs are softer--more like markers and fill in areas better.

HTH!

the important thing to remember about the Copic Spica {pronounced spick-a} pens is that the glitter is suspended in the gel so it's evenly distributed, but it separates from the pen nib a bit when it sits too long.

SO - you have to doodle on a scrap piece of paper to get the glitter flowing, so to speak. I just scribble little tiny circles and get it flowing and then it lays down a nice smooth, delicate amount of glitter.

no chunks, no flakes, nothing comes off on cards or hands - I love these pens! But it's definitely a subtle glitter effect...there is not dimension or bulk to what you're laying down.

I've had mine forever too - the purple, pink and lime green are my FAVE!!!

I love these pens! I bought a couple from Dani to try, and now own every color. They add a subtle sparkle with no drying time to speak of. They provide a perfect accent when a card, page or project needs a little something. I've tried lots of glitter pens, and the others tend to dry up very quickly, but these seem to last (nearly) forever. I don't think you'll regret it if you give them a try, Dawn! Just don't expect the same dimension and glitz you get from Stickles - this is a subtler effect. HTH Gail

I'm with you all, I have a bunch of these and love them. They go well with what ever medium you are coloring with.

I am learning that I have found a few more enablers - and I didn't even know that I needed more incentive to feed this habit.

So now that I want this set where do I find it on the website? I only see individual pens.

I LOVE these pens. Use them ALL the time. The provide wonderful coverage without obscuring the image.

Love em, Love em, Love em.

That was my mistake! I just looked at the main page for "Copic Markers" and saw the picture of a set...but they are actually sold individually here at SL!
