Art of Marbling with Craft Paints – Martha Stewart Crafts
I was watching a home decorating television show a couple of weeks ago that showed marbling art. I had never heard of marbling before and thought it looked really interesting, something that could also be fun to do with children. I was just sooo excited when I saw that Martha Stewart Living’s March Issue had a section on Marbling!
Art of Marbling
There’s something peaceful about marbling. I love the flow of the colors and the lines. The fact that no two piece can be identical, just makes it that much more magical. Here’s a gorgeous photo of fabric that has been marbled and is now drying on a rack.
Aren’t the fabrics absolutely beautiful? What would you make with these fabrics?
Cushions perhaps? Or maybe make a gorgeous statement tote or two?
Did you know that you can also use the marbling technique on cardboard?
Check out these oh so pretty coasters: 
Marbling large pieces of fabric can make gorgeous wall hangings like this one:

So, what do you think of Marbling? Doesn’t it look fun? Have you attempted Marbling before? I’m planning on trying it out very soon with my daughters. We’ll make art to hang in the walls in the living room!
