Over this past weekend I have found myself going down memory lane as I started thinking about my final major project collection, carrying on from my pre-collection theme I want to expend the contour theme one direction I may take it in, is by manipulating fabric using a marbling print.
I remember marbling paper as a child as a craft activity with my older sister Claire. Now I have turned my sitting room into a fine art printing studio with my friend Naomi to explore this Marbling method once again.
First of all we researched what we needed and the steps to creating marble art on paper, here are just a few of how they came out.
The patterns are creatively random based on movement in the water before placing the paper though there is a little thought into how I would like the colours to mix and inner act. These are a few of my favorites with the small detailing from the ink reacting with the water.
Because I like the look of our paper prints I simple tried the same on fabric to see what it came out like not even thinking about fixing to the actual fabric yet however it worked quite well for the first attempt and has seem to fix onto the fabric it's self, however when I choose to develop this I will look into fixing correctly.
