I've been looking for a white or silver Sharpie pen to put the specs. on a bow I made with black glass limbs. Can't find one, does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could use.
Calligraphy pen, archival white ink. Get the extra fine tip, practice a little to make sure you get the ink flowing just right before you letter our bow. If you goof up you can remove the lettering with a wet paper towel and start over.

"Calligraphy pen, archival white ink." Great tip, I'am using these acrylic black pens and every time I coat the bow afterwards with water based polyurethane the ink smears. :eek: If I write the specs on bare wood it seems ok.
Where do you get the archival white ink?
This is what we sell on our website works better than anything we have tried

I got my ink and pen at Hobby Lobby, any craft store that has art supplies should have it.
The last I bought didn't say archival on it and was labeled "Bombay India Ink". It had an eyedropper top on the bottle.
Thanks for the information . I'll give it a try.
