Marble inks,(acrylic paint will do)
Various sizes and types of paper or card and envelopes.
Aluminium trays the larger the better (turkey size) or even a cat litter tray will do, emptied and cleaned of coarse!
Table covering.
Stirrers, bedstraws sticks cocktail or coffee stirres from a well know coffee café!
Cover table.
Fill tray with water.
Drop generous amounts of ink on top of water ( thin down acrylic paint if using.)
Using a stirrer gently mix the colours (not too much as starts to get muddy)
Gently place paper on top of water ,trying to avoid air pockets lift off and place on newspaper to dry.
We found that we had to keep adding more inks often as the were soon absorbed.
Some of us got so into the activity that clothes and faces were a little bit marked, so be warned! Great fun
We are hopping to try out some origami with some of the marbled paper we created amounts other ideas.
