I ordered the marbling kit from here. I've used it for two museum classes and two 4-H groups and still have plenty of materials left. With both groups we did a variety of papers starting with copy paper for their first few and moving to nice watercolor paper after they got the hang of things. We also did cloth. I cut and treated muslin squares and the 4-H kids used them in quilt/textile projects.

Thanks for sharing this technique! I’ve always loved the look of marble (& marbles) & this is a great way to get that look in a print. Thanks for posting.

“The woman in the article with the most incredible collection of these marbleized odds and ends” is my aunt! She has an incredible sense of style and transformed that farmhouse and property into a magical place.

What kind of paper works the best for this? I don’t want to use plain old bond paper… would this work on cotton letterpress stock?
