not at all. oddly enough, it dried totally normal. it doesn’t resist markers when written on, either.

I’m ashamed to say that I have never done marbeling of any kind with my girls. I think we will try both methods you mentioned soon! Thanks!

i’d highly recommend the shaving cream over the oil method, though i had a friend write today to say that we’d get more vibrant results with this if we dipped the paper into just an oil and water mixture, then add the liquid watercolors to the wet page with a dropper. try that, too, perhaps?

That’s a really cool idea. I do think we’ll try the shaving cream first. Thanks, karen
