Shaving Creme Marbling
Oh, I've gotten myself into it now! About a year ago, I was taking a class
and as a bonus, the instructor showed us how to marble with shaving creme and fabric paint. Did I write down the instructions? No, because of course I'd remember how it was done. And then I volunteered to show how to do this at sewing guild next month. Of course, now I can't remember exactly how to do it, but never mind, it can't be that hard. My friend and I gave it go on Wednesday, and it seemed to turn out okay. Ironed everything to try and heat set it after the paint dried, and then washed with syntropol like I do when I die. Lots and lots of it washed out. So much so, that lots of the design washed out on several pieces. Any body know how to do this? I need help (and more practice) between now and next month. Maureen |

I have tried the shaving foam on card to make greetings cards.
Fill a shallow tray with shaving foam, drop coloured inks on it and give it a stir with a cocktail stick. Press the card onto the foam, lift off and scrape the excess foam of with a spatula knife . Then dab with a piece of kitchen roll and allow to dry. Shirley In message , Patti writes This group of amazing people has shown itself to be remarkable in every way one could think of.

I did notice that you mentioned "paint" rather than "dyes"...might make
a difference.. Ann |

The newest "Quilter's World" October 2005 has a feature on this page 34-37
and a pattern to make starting on p38 My summary with my additions: They say to use shaving cream & fabric inks, not paints Squirt the shaving cream onto a disposable holder-pie tin picnic plate, even a sheet of freezer paper (the article doesn't say, but I suspect plain shaving cream, not menthol or moisturizing, would be best spread the shaving cream out about 1/2 inch thick then drop 1 drop of ink in 2 or three spots-all the same or different colors. Swirl it around until it is streaky with something disposable (a toothpick, q-tip, or plastic fork comes to mind). Use a foam paintbrush to apply colored shaving cream to fabric. Stroking in one direction gives a stripy effect, patting it, curved strokes, loops each give a different effect. scrape off the excess foam with a squeegee or other scraper-type object, wiping the scraper after each pass. Turn the fabric ink side down on a protected ironing board (freezer paper or Teflon presscloth for example)(I'd go with the disposable myself) Iron to set the ink. I've always heard that you are better off letting the fabric sit overnight before washing, even with the ironing Jane in NE Ohio "Maureen Wozniak" wrote in message lobal.net...
