Winsor & Newton Watercolor Markers
Art Supplies in San Francisco
Because of the separation anxiety caused by the revered Flax, I decided to find other art stores in SF. I was surprised by the number of stores in the city, and discovered some I had never heard of. If my search had included "crafts", the list would have been tripled, at least.

Make your Own Markers
It was a long, convoluted route to this discovery, but thought it could be fun to try with inks and liquid watercolors.
Marker Maker by Crayola
This is a MUCH MORE detailed tutorial than the one on the product page: Crayola Marker Maker Play Kit
I have since found similar products put out by Dharma Trading for dyes, a refill kit by Crayola and another Crayola set with "Wacky Tips".
Mark to the beat of a different drum!
Quote
"If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting." -David Bowie
