Josie Marbles


My friend Sandy sent my birthday present early ! There were books and stuff for marbleizing paper. It is AMAZING!

You mix up some powder with water and when it is ready (a day later)  you pour it in this tray and drop paint on it. The paint floats on top!

The paint spreads out and then you can swirl it around or even pull a comb thing through it.



I made six marblings and then we ran out of room to dry them

I love the way they look!


I am going to make more on Friday!

What do you think this one looks like?


Sandy also sent me some books One is an amazing book of pop up dinosaurs. It even had pop ups INSIDE popups. 

There was even a pop up birthday card  with a dragon!  I let two little castle people play with him.

I love marbleizing paint. An artist I know would make marbleized paper and silk scarfs too. Now I think I want to find the one I bought. I see a pregnant mother in the pretty purple painting.

It gives me such joy to see Josie enjoying the gifts I sent. I wasn't sure how the marble painting worked, but I see she's figured it out pretty well. 😀 Thanks so much for these pictures, Vicki!

She is entranced by the marbling process!

Great! I'm happy that I introduced her to something new.
