Felt tipped pen

[Davm]

Okay, I know you are supposed to use a fine tipped brush to dye background areas but the dye can drip and destroy the work.  In tight corners, etc.- have any of you used a brown felt tipped pen? Any help for such areas- keep the dye from getting where you don't want it.

use a resist on anything you dont want dyed first. i use a small brush wipe the excess off so it doesn't drip. Some folks do use the fillable markers

I mostly use black markers for those hard to reach corners, and I have some colored alcohol markers for edges.
I could use a brush, or a resist, but a fine-tipped marker just makes the whole process easier.

Sure. Here is a marker that you can fill with your own dye to match your work, for less than $4.00.
