Well, I bought some Copic Markers in shades of warm grays. Love the pens, but have learned a few things. They bled through my moleskines heavy sketch paper terribly. While I was disappointed by that, I did try them in my watercolor journal and they were perfect! the big tips made short work of this page. If anyone has experience with these pens I would love to hear it!
While I did not receive Somerset Apprentice yet, I did get the latest Somerset Studio and Stampers’ Sampler, I was thrilled to see this add appeared in both! 
Right next to Sharon Thomlinson’s beautiful work and we all got a little name mention. Maybe my copy will arrive tomorrow….

Yes, quite true, these markers do bleed, but I still like using them ever since I saw Janey’s earlier work. http://janeysjourney.typepad.com/
congratulations! your work is great.yup..copic markers will bleed. i found that out the hard way as well.
Hopefully Apprentice was in today’s mail for you…you’ll love it (of course!). I’ll have to do a Google search on copic markers since I am unfamiliar…congrats again, and as always looking forward to future posts and beautiful creations from you…..xoxox.
Ohhh I saw your ad when I was thumbing through Stamper’s Sampler last night at Michael’s, and was so proud of you 🙂 Well, too bad about the moleskine but the page still turned out lovely! I find it hard to draw and shade with markers but you’ve got a true knack for it!
Hi Pam,LOVELY! I love the shades of grey. I like that using a limited palette makes for a very portable little kit. I’d love to try the Copics one day. Here’s a blog where she regularly uses Copics. I noticed that she uses colorless blender very frequently. http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/copic-markers/
Looking good as always, Pam
