Custom Colors With Various Ink Refills

Product Feature & Tutorial by Kel Brown & Rachel Henahan.

Today we are going to have a discussion on how to make custom colors with copic various ink refills!!!

Kel and I are going to bring you a few in this series on Custom colors. Today are 'just the obvious' kind of colors. We will be doing 'outside color family mixes', 'using gray & colorless blender additions' & '3 or more mixes'!!!

Here is the Page download to add to your mini copic journal (found on the sidebar left)

What you will need: A friend!!! If you do not have a friend you will need an empty copic refill bottle.
1. 2 refills of choice
2. Empty copic Marker
3. two disposable cups
4. A tsp if you can not see the markings on the various ink bottles well.

This works very economically if you have a friend to share the love with. Kel bought one ink refill (E25) and I bought the other (E21), in order for us to produce its baby E23. Kel and I both leave the transaction with our own refill of the custom color and our own marker.
We use this method in order to insure precise measurement for consistent color mixing. This is to say, that we will always be able to refill our marker with the SAME color each time. We will not be mixing directly into the empty marker, for this reason. If we were to mix directly into the empty marker we would not be able to SEE our measuring and refilling would never produce the same initial color.

What you should know ahead of time. Each refill is 25ml. A tsp is 5ml. This will aid you in your measurement if you are not able to see the lines on the side of the refill bottle, then measure 2.5 tsps into your cup. If you are able you can pour half of your refill (12.5ml) into the cup. Take the lid and pour spout off your refill and pour half into a cup. Do this with each refill. So that E21 refill is half full, and the cup has the other half - AND E25 is half full and a seperate cup has the other half. SO you have 2 cups and 2 refills all half full.

Now pinch the plastic cup to a point and pour the cup of the E25 ink into the E21 refill bottle. Then take the second cup and pour the E21 ink into the E25 refill bottle. Replace the pour spout. Shake each refill well. Now you have 2 full E23 refills.... one for each of you. If you have no friend. Then pour half of your E25 ink, and half of your E21 ink into an empty various ink refill bottle. You will then have a full E23 refill and half of a E21 and half of E25 refill.

After you have reattached your pour spout and shook your refill well. Remove the chisel tip of your empty marker. Making sure both caps are removed... fill your marker with approx. 2cc's of fluid. Replace the chisel tip. And lay the marker flat with lids off.

You can see here that the ink will distribute and the marker will pressurize properly. Any clean up can be done using a paper towel and hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol or alcohol based cleaner.

Keep your eyes open for the next installment of Kustom Kolors by Kel. . . (and her friend Rachel). We have some Krazy Kolors in store. (likely next week)

stay tuned.

Hi Copic Lovers. We had NO tutorial last month. So I thought I would give you a download in its place.

And the final pages are the color combo charts from the Ilikemarkers.blogspot blog.

Wanna Make your own? Here are the pages I used for the inside of my book. I hope that they work out for you to print as well. You may have to play with them some.

A September Munkie See, Munkie Do Sample.

Who is ready for a Club Color Feature? Well, I actually made this one myself... instead of seeking the assistance of our own Katie Cotton. I think she is prolly sick of me.

hehehehe.

This feature was made using the Copic ABS system! Get ready for lots more info on that! Katie is out of town this weekend. So she asked something of me - for a change! Ha.

So I am lecturing at the Copic Munkie Club meeting... I say lecturing because I will be jabbering on and on! We will be spraying like crazy too!
Here are my lecture notes, if you want them in advance!

August Product Feature

Today I want to share a very neat Copic product with you, and a fun way to match your colors.
Copic makes a very nice 'wallet' for store your copic markers.

The wallet is available in a few sizes for your marker needs. It also sets up as an easel. Now I have MORE than a few markers, so I do not keep all of my Markers in the copic wallet.

I have one that holds 36. I keep the COPIC MUNKIE RECOMMENDED 36 Basic colors in this wallet. I also have a 24 wallet for skin and hair. These travel with me and are very useful.

So what is the Copic Munkie Recommended 36, you may ask! Well, we have been working on a few charts here at the Munkie. We have charts that show the recommended colors, in groups of three for shading and blending purposes that will help you to do determine which markers pair well, and match with other color families. There are also a list of 6 alternatives that may fit better to your personal preferences (that is the last row). There are 3 colors for shading/shadowing stand alone colors... i.e. shadow on the ground, fairy wings etc. We will have a recommended 36 for Basics, Brights, Pastels/mutes & Earthy Natures.

You can view these charts at the Funkie Munkie in Greer. If you are an online club member, stay tuned. When we finish the chart information, we will be passing that along to you in email form. You can always call the store (864)288-9400. and ask for any colors you may see listed here on the blog!

Would you like to make a chart of your own? Here is a blank chart available for you to fill in!
