Jenny's Crayon Collection: Metallic Markers

Crayola Signature Liquid Metal Craft Markers

Crayola Signature is one of my favorite lines from Crayola. This box of Liquid Metal Craft Markers is no exception. I love all the shimmery colors, copper, rose gold, bronze, gold, titanium, and silver. They are very similar to the glitter markers from Crayola, but in metallic colors. These markers can be used on fabric, wood, canvas and Terra Cotta. I have also posted about other Signature products from 2017 here and new products available in 2019 here along with items I have colored and painted with them.

Top 10 Essential Crayola Back to School Supplies

Back to school is fast approaching. I was so excited when Crayola sent me a box of supplies to review. I included some of the ones they sent me and added some of my personal favorites. Here is my list of my top ten Crayola back to school items to help you navigate the Crayola aisle at the store. There is an added bonus of the number one teacher item from Crayola. I was surprised to see what it was. My background is a preschool teacher and a mother of two little ones, a girl age five and son age three.

Crayola Star Wars Millennium Falcon Art Kit: What's Inside the Kit

Crayola and Star Wars came out with a bunch of crayons and art sets to welcome the new movie, The Force Awakens. I picked up everything I could find because I am a major fan of Star Wars, I have been since I was a little girl. I found this Crayola Millennium Art Kit at Target. There are a bunch of coloring pages inside and origami directions to make the Millennium Falcon. I copied it on my printer and made a couple. The pages are very nice also. I am a little disappointed there were not any from the new movie, but they released the Art Kit before the movie was released so I can see why. I hope they come out with another or some updated pages because Rey is my favorite!

8 Count Crayola Metallic Markers: What's Inside the Box

I have been wanting to buy the Crayola Metallic Markers for a while now, but had not because they were so expensive. Some places they were up to 10 dollars. I finally found the markers available at Target for 2.99 and could not refuse. I love these markers so much, they are so much fun to draw with. They are super shiny and can be used on black or white paper, something that can not always be done with Metallic type markers. In the patent it says "On black surfaces it will reveal itself as being opaque and metallic" and "on white surfaces, a tint of color is observed with flecks of silver".

I was reading up on the patent and interesting enough Crayola does not own the patent, it was patented by Dri Mark Products, Inc. in 2003. My guess is Crayola acquired this patent someone in this decade and is now making markers with it. The binder agent for the marker is water based so it is not permanent. The wick tip provides a way for the "flow of large particle size pigments" so the markers can be seen on black paper and a way for the ink to be transported so the "metallic particles" will not settle out or have to be stored a certain way. For example the Fabric markers have to be store on their side. The patent references aluminum particles embedded to make the metallic effect. Not many Crayola products contain metal, the Silver Swirls did. The packaging does say it is non toxic, so the aluminum particles are not dangerous. An interesting note is in the patent it says the marker can be used to draw on human skin and will give the effect of a "temporary tattoo". I am so going to try this.
