Today I’m excited to share a new group of products from Marabu: Fashion Spray, Fashion Shimmer, and Fashion Liner.<\/p>\n
Yes, the word fashion does suggest work on fabric or with textiles, but… don’t dismiss this group if you’re not a textile person.\u00a0 They’re just as awesome on paper as when used on fabric.\u00a0 And, best of all, once they dry on paper they stay put.\u00a0 So no more creating a layer you love only to have it disturbed or destroyed by a subsequent one.<\/p>\n
In the video you’ll see me hold up a piece of watercolor paper that I sprayed several colors of Fashion Spray on.\u00a0 Once everything was dry I scraped on some gesso and let it dry and amazingly, the gesso remained white.\u00a0 There wasn’t even a hint of discoloration and this too has a place in how we work in journals and mixed media projects.\u00a0 Some of the time you want that white layer to not be tinted by the underlying layers and the Fashion Sprays mean you can easily make that happen.<\/p>\n
Fashion Liners also stay put once dry.\u00a0 I like to think of them as little tubes of magic because they allow me to add lines, dots, and doodle with color.\u00a0 There are shimmer colors here too!\u00a0 Though they create a raised design when applied, they flatten and absorb into the surface as they dry, leaving the surface almost completely smooth.<\/p>\n
Fashion Shimmer are the sprays with the addition of mica – a lot of it – that allows you to create wonderfully shimmery layers.\u00a0 I demo them with a stencil in one of the Global Art Materials Handbook Journals and then print what remains on the adjacent page.\u00a0 Yummy doesn’t even come close to describing how much luscious shimmer there is in these sprays.<\/p>\n
Also in the video you’ll see some samples created on our new 5″ Cotton Canvas Roll.\u00a0 For a limited time you can have one for free if you spend $30 on the three Marabu Fashion Products.\u00a0 If your order qualifies the warehouse will automatically include one in your package.<\/p>\n
If you want more than one roll (which I get\u00a0– this stuff is so awesome I’m not sure 3 yards is enough!) we have them for sale.\u00a0 Click the link you’ll find below the video.<\/p>\n
Remember, to reach the $30 threshold, you must spend $30 on Fashion Spray, Shimmer, or Liner!<\/p>\n
