The Magic of Soap (and water marbling art)

Published 2020-04-08
Here's a fun PSA from Mayu Silk Art - with an oddly satisfying surprise at the end. Totally worth the 6 minutes of your life it will take to watch the full thing. Besides, what else have you got to do?

(fast forward to 4:30 if you ust want to see the "surprise ending")

    I loved that first swipe, the large scalloped patten had such a cool retro vibe! I'd print that on some fabric for sure..

    I did this with oil based paints and water… it’s called Water Marbling… you can dip cups and plates and such, depending on the paint you use… i used nail polish on water… it works too… my teachers didn’t call it Hydro dipping… so i didn’t use that term when i taught my students… there are kits available u can buy… it’s pretty… my art club did it on paper to make Teachers’ Day cards for all the teachers in my school…

    Why can't I find a video that explains : what kind of color, is the water somehow prepared. Do I have to fix the color with something? Warm water , cold water?

    This was great. It is also want I would like to basically do: play with it to my heart's content! If I was doing this, I'd be so careful of every drop of colour because buying in small amounts makes it more expensive. Then, I'd want to make something beautiful and perfect. So constraining! All of it! This was bliss. 😊❤

    This is so cool. Thank you for sharing so many techniques, it is very kind of you.

    OH MY GOODNESS, This was so interesting to watch! As a quilter who goes through some pretty bizarre experiments to get unique fabric for my quilts, I could see this being super super interesting to print up, like a time capsule fabric. I might try this in my shaving cream and dye printing to see what happens. Don’t listen to these Unfun people, this was amazing!

    This was exactly what I was looking for🎉❤ So is there any tips other then being careful when watering down our acrylics for this process?
