A little something I learned about recently at a workshop run by the lovely Shelley Rhodes …
Cola pens are great mark makers, holding ink for longer than sticks and allowing thick and thin marks from the same ‘pen’
Take a drinks can and disassemble
Cut into rectangular sections and fold each in half.
Mark on the shape of the pen – vary the shape to see how it affects mark making.
Cut out the shapes and tape each ‘nib’ to a drink stirrer/ lolly stick
Dip the pen into ink or dye and get mark making!
Enjoy!
