They are lovely to work with and add a slight sheen, as though you used a fine tip varnish pen if ever there was such a thing.
Finally, I added a self portrait, which I have to say makes me look a little manic but hey, then added a the writing last. It's a bit of a shame the second half of the phrase couldn't be picked up by the camera. Next time I will be aware not to use a metallic pen.
