I'd like to know: 1) Do you draw something on the paper, stick on something, then your drawing is on the object? 2) Does this work on mugs?

If you want to trace a pattern, you put the pattern over the Seral, it is like a carbon only is graphite paper...as far as mugs go I cant help you there, I dont know.

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

I use mine with both pencil and cheap government issue ball point pens. For pencil, I use a mechanical pencil with softer lead then normal, costs the same just have to get it from a office supply store. Pen, I use cheap ball points and every now and then I a spot the pens don't write on but rare. If you try to write in the rain, cheap ball points don't work.

I use a lead holder and some of my friends use a regular (drawing) pencil, so I'm sure that any type of pencil will work but I don't know about ink. The paper does hold up really well, I used the same trace for five or six transfers and it still worked perfectly. I kept it in my relatively chaotic portfolio without any protection for about a week and as long as I put it in flat it didn't rip or get any holes in it, and the lines didn't rub off or fade.

Yes, you can certainly draw on these. They are pretty much like regular paper, so pens or sharpies will work just fine.

Try the paint and see what happens. Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. I've used my set primarily for Zendoodles and had no problem with pen and ink on the coasters.

I honk it depends on the printer, I have an HP and it prints on it just fine, it does take longer to dry than on normal paper but it works. I think as long as you have a way to adjust your ink output you should be good to go. I did mine at about 80% to not overdo the ink

No, it's not at all. These work more like a felt-tip pen, or a like a child's Crayola-type coloring marker, except it's food coloring instead of ink. You're probably aware the Crayola-type markers don't work well on black construction paper (if you have kids you're well aware! HAha), and these pens work much the same way in that the ink of the marker won't show up very well on dark-colored fondants. I would suggest using black fondant and yellow fondant and making your jersey that way. I can't think of anything, even painting with food coloring, that would work on black fondant. Hope I helped, even though the answer was probably disappointing! And good luck on those cupcakes! :-) No, it's not at all.

They write on regular paper, too. I find them a bit sticky sometimes but if you move the pen slowly over the surface you wish to cover, it works better than if you try to write or draw too quickly.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so. its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.

I use simple food coloring and mix it in a paper cup. Works fine but a bit messy.

I have...these are really lovely as one medium in a mixed-media piece. Try gesso-ing the surface before and these spread like a DREAM! (You don't have to spend a whole lot of money at first to experiment with a gesso if you're not going to use it otherwise, so don't get overwhelmed with all the choices/price points - I did.) I did this on journal paper that, without gesso, really doesn't like to be wet (it's a recycled, pulpy paper) and this method worked well.

after your question, I went and tried to see if I can make art with it. it makes really thick foam if you know what you are doing. Yea it makes art I made a smiling face it came out ok for someone who is not artistic.

Any paint works, but I couldn't find refill paper. The paper is octagon shaped---not a easily found shape of paper! For that reason alone I'd consider a different set. That is the only thing I didn't like about this toy. Haven't used it since we ran out of the 8 sheets of paper it came with.

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

Tape. Your thumb. A large brick. A small child. Sorry for the sarcasm. Assuming you're an artist, get creative. I tape what I'm tracing to the back of my drawing paper.

I don't believe you understand how this works. This kit provides multiple circular papers about the size of a dinner plate. A person then uses WASHABLE markers or inkpads to make an ORIGINAL piece of artwork. This original circular paper is then coated and baked into a food-safe, usable, dinner plate. The baking process is the reason why you can not use crayons or oil-based inks. The paper is not copied or digitized. It is physically made into your plate. You may repeat the design on as many pieces of the provided paper as you wish. You will be charged for each plate after the first one. Each plate will be original.
