Hi friends!<\/p>\n

You might remember last week, I told you about my favorite marker to letter on wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week I want to tell you something that will sound a little bit funny actually, because that same weakness that I mentioned last week about the Sharpie Water Based became a strength for this project and it made me choose the Sharpie marker over the Molotow one.<\/p>\n

First, let me tell you more about this project.<\/p>\n

So, I had to write 20 signs on black paper 8*11 in. These signs were going to be used as props in a photo-shoot at a school in San Jose, CA.<\/p>\n

They wanted this idea of black backdrop\/white ink kind of a chalkboard thing but didn’t want to use actual chalkboards (better buying paper vs. buying 20 chalkboards) so I thought that the best tool for this project could actually be the Sharpie Water Based!<\/p>\n

Why? You already know it! The Sharpie acrylic water based marker isn’t very uniform, it’s also not as opaque as the Molotow and it is even a little bit transparent\/watery sometimes. All of those reasons helped to actually give a\u00a0similar appearance as the regular chalk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You see? There’s no ONE marker for all of the projects, no ONE marker that magically works with all of them (although, there is the a ring to rule them all<\/em> \ud83d\ude1b remember I’m a little bit of a LOTR fan).<\/p>\n

There are projects and tools. And we’ll need to find what’s the best union for each one.<\/p>\n

Have a nice week folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
