Marbling is the process of transferring colours by simple contact with the object to decorate, on a coloured surface. This technique requires patience and attention, as well as a little practice. It can be used in creations on all light surfaces: fabric, paper, card, recycled paper, wood, plaster, etc. On fabric, fix the colours to the iron after drying. The thickener bath can be used for several successive projects. It is, nevertheless, best to use a small amount of thickening bath and change it often.

The thickener bath must be prepared in advance.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons (7 g) of Marbling thickener in 1 litre of cold water while stirring vigorously with a whisk and let stand for 2 hours.

Then pour a 1 to 2-cm thick layer of gel into a plastic tray or dish that is larger than the objects to be

decorated.

MARBLING PROCESS

1. Using the dropper, carefully place the chosen Marbling colours on the surface of the bath.

Ideally alternate light and dark colours: they superimpose but never mix.

2. Let the drops spread out for a few seconds before working with a stick. By guiding the colours in different ways you can achieve a variety of patterns and marbling effects:stippled, combed effects, etc. Just deposit the drops of colour into each other to get concentric effects.

3. Once the marbling is complete, carefully place the decorating fabric or paper, cut to size, on the surface of the coloured bath. Let stand 10 to 15 seconds before removing. Rinse quickly under running water to remove excess gel + colour mixture. Place the decorated

Object on a flat surface and allow to dry.
