Metallic sharpie on black tile test

Left to right: silver, gold, copper, bare engrave.

In person the copper probably pops the most.

Copper get my vote. What tile did you use? The ones I picked up at HD fractured the glaze terribly and I was unable to get clean lines.

Copper looks great on the black background. (Must buy more Sharpies.)

It was the only black tile they had in stock, a 2x6 ish bullnose trim piece. I just wanted to try black tiles.

As for fracturing and spalling… if you go too hard on rocks they’ll spall. Maybe you hit it with too much power?

This was just some cheap tile we got at Lowes that is white with a black layer on top.

I found some 4x4 black tile at a habitat for humanity restore place in my area. Figured I got lucky but can’t get either my acrylic paint pens or regular acrylic paint to stick. Only have regular color sharpies. Would love a white or silver one about now
