Goes well with yellow smiley keycaps
« on: Tue, 19 February 2013, 22:31:46 »
^That's what Hyde told me, hehe (Refer to http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37066.0)



I got bored of writing and started drawing on my spare PBT keycaps. I was surprised how well markers went on the naked keycaps.
I tried using a white pencil crayon too. I found it worked well as a blender. It gave the keycaps a pastel/watercolor effect.

Has anyone else tried using markers and pencil crayons :)
Sorry if it's a little girly. I had some doubts of posting this, but I figured it might be nice to ask you guys your experience with other materials (ex. spray paint, nail polish, etc. ).

Awe those are damn cute! How do they feel on the fingers? Think it will rub off from use?
