Marbling on Fabric

Marbling on Fabric by Chambers, Anne. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780855327880.

Soft, swirling, elegant marbled effects on silk, satin, cotton and synthetics can now be as easily achieved on fabric as they can on paper. This book shows how to marble on fabric using fabric paints, acrylics and oil paints. Instructions and step-by-step photographs guide the reader through the whole process, and most of the equipment can be found in the home. It provides the secrets of random dropping, spattering, stylusing and combing, and shows how to correct common marbling mistakes. A range of marbled items in colour demonstrate the possiblities of this art form, from silk scarves and ties to espadrilles, bookmarks, and even a patchwork quilt.
