Have you ever wondered what you could marble beyond paper? Surface designer and marbling artist Mercedez Rex has, and she's put it to the test. Building on the foundation of her introductory class, Marbling Through Creativity, this lesson delves into printing on various finished goods. Mercedez demonstrates how to transfer marbled designs onto a silk scarf, a two-sided canvas bag, a cotton crop top, and a terracotta pot. You'll learn foundational marbling patterns, experiment with tools like a stylus and straw, and pick up tips for working solo. With natural materials like silk, wood, leather, canvas, and clay, the possibilities are endless!

I dyed several silk scarves with marigold and cosmos flowers, and they came out fine, but the colors are so similar and too much the same. I am going to overdye them using Mercedes technique and see what happens. Thanks for the inspiration!
