This is a wonderful how-to book for the novice or advanced fabric "marbler." Easy to read, step-by -step instructions will help the beginner get set up, order supplies, prepare fabrics, mix colors and have a very successful time with this great fabric decorating technique. The advanced reader will see 15 beautiful color plates of marbling examples, and diagrams to reproduce them. In addition, I especially enjoyed reading the brief history of marbling. The Appendix and Resources section are very helpful. I plan to introduce this project to my students and this book will be an invaluable resource!

I found this book several years ago, it is now page worn and full of paint smuges. Judy has all the easy to understand information that you need to marble on fabric. She walks you thru marbling step by step. And then provides some inspiration for project and a great resourse list on where to find supplies.

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.
