Book Review: Creative Marbling on Fabric
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must. It got me going on silkscarves. The pictures are excellent and the author explains everything in detail, very easy to follow. I ended up teaching marbling and making trays for marbling for my students, being a teacher in Acrylic and Oil painting beforehand.
Unfortunately we are a bit handicapped in getting certain products here in Australia, which are easy to buy in the USA, but through trial and error I found some shortcuts and thanks to this book and 2 others, which I bought from Amazon, my scarves are in great demand.
Summary of Creative Marbling on Fabric: A Guide to Making One-Of-A-Kind Fabrics
Learn how to create exquisitely marbled fabrics, using 15 traditional patterns. Detailed instructions break down each pattern into easy-to-follow steps to help quilters and fabric lovers create artistic and elegant marbling effects.? Seven step-by-step projects include a Falling Leaves quilt, silk scarf, and scalloped vest
? Includes directions for embellishing marbled fabrics with surface-design techniques, such as dyeing, painting, printing, and stamping
? Full-color pages are filled with inspiration for using marbling techniques in a variety of projects
If you've ever admired the intricate marbled patterns on the endpapers of old books, you may be surprised at how readily this look adapts to fabric. With a relatively small investment in materials and a good dose of patience, anyone can learn the secrets of creating elaborate marbling on silk, cotton, rayon, polyester, sheers, even ultra suede and tissue lam?. Filled with good instructions and helpful color photos, this guide explains all the basics and shows how to achieve 15 different marbling patterns and variations, plus advanced techniques like using resists to silhouette shapes in the marbling, adding dimension with rubber stamps, embellishing edges with scalloping, and making a three-color progression that allows for careful planning of a color scheme. To begin using your newly marbled fabrics, chose from among seven step-by-step projects, including vests, a pillow, and a quilt (there's also additional information on quilting marbled fabric). A brief gallery of some of the author's lovely wearables and quilts proves that marbled fabric lends itself perfectly to so much more than just scarves. --Amy Handy
