Product Review: Copic Spica Markers

Copic Atyou Spica Markers
Quick Facts:
They come in 13 different colors (seen above)
Micro Glass Flakes make the sparkle
Water based pigment ink
Acid free
They are to be stored flat
Unlike Copic Original markers, these are NOT refillable

They color beautifully - you just have to be sure not to go over a certain area too much or it will go right through the paper as the ink flows quite nicely.
You can build up the glitter so you need to color with the same pressure and evenly over an area or it will collect and "congeal". If this happens you can wipe away the extra glitter bits quickly before it dries.
These differ from a Stardust Gel Pen! Stardust is a gel pen, these a waterbased markers. If find these to have more color than the stardust.
The particles of glass are so fine that they lay flat. They dry almost instantly too. You know how sometimes you want sparkle in a tiny area only but Stickles Glitter glue is too chunky? Spica's have a very fine point and are perfect for small areas.
Available at Rubber Stamp Studio.
$3.00
