Can anyone help me with colouring shrink plastic?r=1218562365?

Question

This is my first post so please bear with me if I'm not doing it right!

I am trying to use shrink plastic to make pendants & earrings. I would prefer to draw freehand than stamp. What are the best things to use in BLACK plastic? Everything I use seems to smudge!

I have tried coloured pencils (metallic) - do you need to let these 'dry' as well as gel pens?

I left the gel pen ones to dry overnight & these still smudge!

Please help!!!

Check out some of the info on using shrink plastics (including colorants) on this page of my site... there should be good info there plus links to other sites that deal with more:
