Monday Group - Marbling

Image
Today we had a complete change in class and played with the Marbling Kit we bought in the Quilt Show in Malvern last month. We used a pipett to drop in our  paints, and a cocktail stick and a makeshift ‘afro’ comb made out of cocktail sticks and selotape to ‘marble’ the paints. Here are some of the finished pieces. I then took them home to line dry them. Look – blue skies – summer has hit Port Talbot. We had a wonderful morning with comments such as: I wouldn't think of doing this at home. But I've enjoyed playing with the paints here. (All set up and ready for them). Can we do this again please? and Can we paint on shells next time? The swirling the paints with the cocktail stitcks was by far their favourite part - seeing what patterns emerged from the paints. So it looks like we will have to go to the beach to find some shells then! Above is a video of Chris 'having a go' this morning.
