Marbleous

Moving on to the next experiment ---- this is marbling fabric with dye-na-flow paints and shaving cream.

Using a layer of unscented shaving cream smoothed out, I added drops of paint then swirled it around. I placed fabric over this and patted the fabric down so it would absorb the paint. I peeled the fabric off and scraped any excess shaving cream from the fabric.

Below are the results.












Should anyone have this much fun?

Marbleous is right. In looking over your blog, I see you are having lots of fun and producing great fabric! You have inspired me to get out the shaving cream that's on my studio shelf!

The marbling is gorgeous. Have you washed it? Just wondering how you prepared it for use.
Love your blog! always such interesting techniques.
