Marbling fabric

Friday evening's mini workshop using a shaving foam technique to marble fabric was very effective and a lot of fun - even if it was also a bit messy!

The starting point is a base of shaving foam, dotted with blobs of fabric paint

and 'stirred up' with a kebab stick or something similar to create interesting, swirly patterns
 

Fabric is pressed onto the paint-spattered foam, and the effects are many and various:

Our grateful thanks to Leamington member, Sally, who organised the session and brought along some of her samples, including husband's shirt:
