OMG this looks like so much fun and a wonderful idea for gifts!! Do you know if the markers come in any other colors? My mind is racing with tons of gift occasions this would be perfect for..lol
I never heard of porcelain markers before. Lovely! I found you on 1929 Charmer "Sunday's Best Par.tay" and I'm now a follower. I would love if you could follow me back.
Do you have to worry about toxins when eating off the plates? Do you need to spray over them with anything? Do you need specific plates to do this? We have white plates from our wedding registry, boring, but I didn't know if these needed to be non-shiny ones or something.
Almost all the projects I've seen use Pebeo Porcelaine Paint Markers and there is always one person like me commenting on the following: Although the official description says these pens contain no toxic ingredients, their official website also writes: These markers are not recommended for use on surfaces that come in contact with food.
I have read about a European paint pen that is safe coming in contact with food, but not others. While I love this project, I would leave them as beautiful decorative plates rather than "eating on" plates.
These are so cute! If you haven't yet, do you want to link it up at our "It's a Cinch" multi-blog link party. It's just like our Imagine the Impossibilities party in that when you link at one blog, you're automatically linked up to the party's five co-hosts …
I used a Sharpie instead of this marker, it works fine, but sometimes, you need to make sure you have your coats really thick on lighter colors as they will fade over time, but it has been thru my dish washer and everything and seems great!
