Ok this is a great way to create a lovely Marbling effect!
Material List – Paper, Shaving Foam, Spatula Pallet knife, fork and skewer, Newspaper, heaps of handy towels, Golden Air Brush Colours. (Air Brush acrylics have a very thin viscosity and are very close to ink like!)
1) Start off with two pieces of Paper, the same size .
2) Spray some Shaving Foam onto the first piece of paper, and then spread it out with a pallet knife ( shaving foam needs to be approx 1cm in-depth) mmm its just like icing a cake lol
3) Drop some Golden Air Brush colours onto the shaving Foam, maybe to start with pick 4 or 5 colours, dropping about 5 drops per colour.
4) Once you have all your colours dropped onto your shaving foam, then use your (fork, spatula, pallet knife or skewer) whatever you have to move the paint around, swirl it, zig zag it, make patterns, words whatever you like.
5) Now that you have done this, place the other piece of paper down onto the painted shaving foam and press or Burnish really well, Yip this is messy, as some of the excess shaving foam will spill out the sides … but it is important that you do press and rub firmly, when you are done then peel back the top paper and place down in front of you!
6) Now using your paper towels, wipe off all the Shaving Foam from that paper, and you will be left looking at a very Cool Marble Paper !!
Wolaa !
Play around with using all different kinds of colour, and tools to make the designs. Here is one that I have made and painted some cocoons and Butterflies on…
