Marbling with Shaving Cream


My little experiment in marbling using shaving cream--the lazy man's way. Not as refined as the traditional method, but fun. I'm using Ranger Posh Impressions Inks atop dollar store shaving cream (in cucumber melon scent). Smells yummy. My paper is vellum. It was difficult to work with at first because it rolls right up when exposed to wetness. But after the shaving cream was spatula'd off, I ironed it on both sides to return it to a flat state.
