What's Growing on My Markers? The Company's Response.

Several months ago I went to color with my #Coloring markers that I got from Hobby Lobby only to discover something gross growing on the tips of the markers! My first thought was "Is this toxic?" I wondered if it was mold or fungus! So I created a video showing the growth, but decided to wait to publish it so I could first give the company (Art Alternatives) a chance to respond. It took a few months, but they replaced the markers with a reformulated product and explained what that growth was. In the end, I learned it is a de-salinization process occurring in the markers and is NOT toxic. Phew! They have since reformulated their markers and upgraded their nibs. The new markers will be released under the name Art Alternatives Illustration Markers. You can see my first impressions in this video. You can also see that SuperRaeDizzle experienced a similar problem with these markers in her "Trying Markers for the First Time" video here:    • TRYING MARKERS FOR THE FIRST TIME (emotional)   Website: http://www.coloringbliss.com Facebook:   / coloringbliss   Pinterest:   / coloringbliss   Twitter:   / coloringbliss   Instagram:   / coloringpagesbliss
