Corinne Bradd demonstrates the technique of marbling, using specialist inks dropped onto the surface of water. This is taken from Jill Alblas's project, featured in the latest issue of Quick & Crafty, where she has brought this craft up to date by creating bright, swirling patterns to make psychedelic canvases, pretty floral designs, and more. You can find the full instructions for this crafty make on p67 of Quick & Crafty, May '07, available now from all good newsagents, priced £3.99.
