Update and follow-up on air erasable pens
This is an update to my previous post about air erasable pens. The project I am working on has a variety of silks, some of which have unstable dyes. Wetting that quilt is out of the question. My only choice was an air erasable marker. I won’t go into why other methods would not […]
