Have you had the opportunity to check out the newest edition of Martha Stewart Living magazine yet? The Spring Color Issue is available on newsstands and iPad now (March, 2014).
As always, in this edition you’ll find many great living, food, and craft ideas. I found that one of the most unique features in this particular magazine is the method of marbling.
Until now, I’ve never really heard of marbling being used for anything other than children’s crafts.
However, I realize I was wrong. It’s a beautiful technique that can be used as a decor focal point in your own home.

“Marbling with simple craft paints is your opportunity to try something free and loose, colorful and creative. This one simple process works to adorn paper, fabric, or leather – and brings personality to many corners of your home.”

Marbling can potentially be a complex art form, but as you’ll see in the newest magazine or online, beautiful results can also be accomplished quite easily with something as simple as a coffee stir stick.

    I have tried many crafts and wish I had more time to complete projects. One of my favorites is knitting because my grandmother taught me when I was very young. Thanks

    I like scrapbooking. I don't really have time for it now as a stay at home mom to a toddler, so my crafts are usually paint-based with a 2 year old!

    Seasonal crafts are my favorite things to do with my kids! I'm not exactly good at crafts, but i'm not terrible :p

    I do sewing when it benefits me, and love wire-wrap jewelry. I love to try other crafts as well, especially if its something I can do without investing lots of money into. 🙂

    I am currently exploring wire-wrap jewelry, and also sew. I would love to explore new crafts as well, especially those not requiring lots of money.
