UNBOXING NOVEMBER SCRAWLR BOX

How I've missed open this box of wonders!!!!

It was to dark to make a film with my Lumix Camera so there will be no Youtube video this month. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to open the box.

This month the featured Artist is Emma. 

She is the founder and creative director of Black Chalk Collective.

You can check her at Instagram: @blackchalkco  and www.blackchalko.com

The surprise materials were all new to me and they are:

-Artline Stix Brush Pens in Black, Blue and Purple. They can be clipped together using the special features on the barrel (which for me makes it not so comfortable to hold and draw)

-Artline Stix Colouring Marker in Grey. Can be clipped to the other ones.

-Ecoline Brush Pens 548 Blue Violet and 522 Turquoise Blue. Concentrated formula. Watercolour ink.

-Edding 1200 mettalic red (gorgeous dark tone)

-Crayola Broad Tip Marker in Yellow.
-Practice paper
-Instruction sheet: Simple techniques to enhance your lettering

This was my sad attempt at this month #scrawlrchallenge.

Lettering is my Achilles heel.

The materials used are: Ecoline Brush Pen 548 Blue violet

YESTERDAY POST MAIL...#SCRAWLRBOX

   Yesterday I've received my first Scrawl Box!!! Hurray!!!

   The first thing that caught my eyes was the beautiful postcard art by Vexx. You can check him out at www.vexx-art.com

 This month theme is: Fire
 Another card with Fireball samples to test the colour markers. Smaller ones to try out several combinations and a larger one for the final product.

   Month challenge is Fireball.

   Now the piece of resistance...
   Chameleon Pens... How cool!!!
   They have a mixing chamber, where you let the  BrushNib touch the nib with toning medium for 15 seconds. It makes the ink change tone and go lighter so you can blend smoothly.  Working from light to dark!

   The information provided by the above card says that the Chameleon Color tones pen are a special refillable alcohol based double ended marker that can be used as a standard marker or to create stunning colour gradients and blends. The work of several pens in just one!
   They have a high quality super soft Japanese brush nib, a bullet nib and the special mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is used to fuse either of the nibs with blending solution to create stunning effects such as blending, gradations, highlighting, shading or even 3D. They are a low odour, non toxic pen that is permanent on most surfaces.
   There colours are Crimson Red RD4, Summer Sun YL2 and Bisque NU1.
   The detail pen is a double-ended detail fineline pen with two fine nibs (0.6mm and 0.4mm) containing black pigment-based ink that is permanent when dry and compatible with alcohol-based inks. Whatever you draw will not smear when combined with Chameleon Color Tones.
 

   My first go at this type of markers!  
   I've chosen  Poison Ivy played by Uma Thurman.
   I could have made more of a mess so I'm happy with it. Blending was a bit hard since I've never tried blending with markers before. Lack of practice which will be fixed soon!

I really enjoyed my Chameleon Pens and  I have my eye on the 22 pens set!
Thank you Scrawlr Box for the lovely and rich colours!!!
