How to paint silk fans using fabric or copic markers?

I bought some silk fans this weekend and want to paint Chinese designs on them. I don't prefer paintbrushes and have been looking into using copic markers. Will these bleed/wash out? Is there a less expensive alternative such as fabric markers?|||I haven't heard about copic markers, but yes there are fabric markers available in fabric stores. I have included links from a few manufacturers.





Whatever you use, I would get some "scrap" silk or a similar fabric and practice first. I don't know if you would heat set the painted silk, like you often do with cotton.





This sounds really interesting and I would like to see the results!
