Rainy day! by craftymeg

Rainy day!

Well who would have guessed!! I thought a bit of colour was in order today, the weather is still very cold wet and grey. These are just a few of my alcohol and water colour pens, just as l left them. The ones I am using I always leave proud so if I need them again I know which ones I have used. I'm not OCD with my pens but I have so many I have to keep them in reasonable order or I wouldn't know where I was, I have around 800 which in money terms is about £1400 worth, shhh, I keep that bit away from long suffering hubbie!!
Nice on black

A big thank you to all who left wonderful comments and favs on yesterday's South Gare photo. It was definitely worth getting cold and wet for !!
That makes a terrific capture, Margaret. Fun, colourful & concise. Love it.

Margaret this is lovely, just a rainbow of colours. I just love buttons

Sorry Margaret just read it properly and seen its pens, thought you hade been a button shop. Oh dear old age!!!!

Fav for a lovely display of pens - what do you use them for, Margaret? (I'm going to put my alcohol (red to go with the meatballs Neil is making) in a glass.)

I like colour! Great shot!

A nice shot. I get an odd optical illusion when looking at the picture as a whole. The grey barrels of the pens that are sticking out in the bottom-left of the shot give a kind of motion-blur effect when I'm not looking directly at them. I love stuff that can trick the eye :)
January 6th, 2016  
That is so organised!!!! I would love to know what you use them for too :)

Fantastic colourful shot. Love it. Do you use a particular brand of pen?

Hi Hazel, I use them to colour pictures that I put on the front of cards that I make. I love using them and I am so glad I persevered and taught myself how to use them properly, it's so relaxing a hobby and you get a great end result. I will post one of my efforts in the next week or two.

These are all yours? Wow! When I go into an art shop I absolutely love just looking at the stacks of pens/pencils/pastels and all the colours - this is very evocative for me and the colours are great. Fav

Hi, I have a few brands, my favorite ones are Copics, followed by Graphics, Pro markers and Spectrum Noir[my least favourite]. I have full sets of Copics and Spectrum Noir a very expensive and planned expense. They all are much loved and looked after, I use every one!
