I bought a few more markers recently, some from Art Shed online ( they had ale on Jo Sonja acrylic paint & I needed to replace a couple of tubes that were nearly empty, so I figured since I was already paying postage anyway…) . And I also got a couple more from an online seller.
But more colours meant that my colour chart and marker storage needed an update!
I drew up & stamped a new chart last night, it is a bit crowded to fit onto the one sheet now! Realised too late I should have used 2 sheets of better quality paper, taped together. Oh well. And yes I got ahead of myself writing out the names & numbers in the second row and I missed one & had to white it all out! Dang it!
For storage I have the original 36 box and the lid, plus a clear box with 3 dividers I found in a $2 shop. Looking for marker storage inspiration online, I realised that I just needed to cut more dividers - and make some taller- and there would be plenty of room for all the markers plus my black & highlighting pens. I cut up an ice cream container to make the dividers, and found a basket that is the perfect size to hold all 3 boxes, yay!
WOW your collection is growing! It is addictive hehe.
ReplyDeleteDid you know there are also colour comparison apps too.
Just saw your question re the otter. I coloured him with Stampin up brown tones (crumb cake) a comparison chart matches this to copic E43 or touch brown grey, clay or straw yellow. Hope that helps!
Will have to explore more apps! The annoying this is that I have mostly Mont Marte markers but can NOT find a colour chart for them anywhere! Although I did discover that they are sold individually at the bargain shop near Spotlight in Preston, thinking I might need to take a photo of the stand full of markers & use that as a colour chart!
