I learned from the Frugal Crafter, to stick your tape to a sheet or t-shirt several times before (she put it on) watercolor paper but I imagine it would work on most papers. It gives you your straight lines but the tiny lint bits keep the tape from ripping your paper 😄
I’ll repeat the previous post because OMG is the only way to express myself!!! This is just spectacular and so unexpected, I would never believed that could turn out so gorgeous!! I craft with my granddaughter and this will knock her socks off. ... besides what 10 year old wouldn’t love mushing around shaving cream!! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love this technique ! ! ! ! May I suggest: when lifting the 1st sheet you should place a 2nd sheet over the 1st sheet,this way you get 2 sheets for the price of 1. This is called a mirror image. Josie G-P.
I have watched several of these shaving cream videos. This one is the best I have seen. The colors are vibrant. They covered well. They made super prints. Thanks for the demonstration.
I teach at an art camp every summer at my church. I just sent screen shots to the director along w your name Jane! I think the kids would be amazed with these results! 🤞🏽 hoping she's on board to do this next summer!
Just watched this for the first time. I like the technique a lot!! Going to try it!! I'm going to use freezer paper to put the shaving cream on, though. It has a shiny coating on one side, so should work well. That way I have a nice flat surface to work from. :)
I do this with liquid watercolors but its TOTALLY different with alcohol inks. I can't wait for my inks to come in. The shaving cream technique is awesome!
OMG Jane, when you pulled off that first sheet, my chin hit the keyboard LOL! So beautiful and I've got everything to get started. Thanks, so much, for sharing Jane!
I didn't think I was going to like this technique vs some of the water techniques but the colors are SO vibrant in this technique I'm for sure going to try it. I'm going to give it a go on some handmade paper
I’ve been planning to do this with water based products.. actually have everything for it sitting on my craft table but I didn’t think of using my ai! Tyfs, I already know exactly the color combos I’ll use for a element in a project I’m working on and it’s gonna be fabulous!! New sub!
This technique has been around for a long time, it is great fun for sure! Watercolour paper is probably a cheaper alternative, that's what I use. The only problem with this technique is the smell, your work smells like shaving cream for a very very long time. Best to use a shaving cream that has no odor if you don't want your work to smell like shaving cream :)
This was a cool technique to show us I think I'll try it in a bit Of course, any art stuff takes practise The first try often comes out like SHAVING CREAM Be nice and clean! Shave every day and you'll always look keen! :D Great results there - much more like traditional paper marbling than most of the other videos I've seen. Looks like it could work well with sheets from a watercolor paper pad for headpages to bind books
That's a beautiful painting you did. That's cool how you did that. I'm going to try that. Thank you for the information and the other. Keep up the great work you do.
Hi Jane, another great vid. I'm a very happy subscriber. I'm about to lead you astray so don't blame me if you try it and fail. LOL I'm working with a poor memory here. Also, feel free to tell everyone, "steer clear of this guy!" ... Anyway, I think - think - you could use Yupo by using a casserole dish, filling with water, dropping in alcohol ink, and dragging your Yupo through. Same effect achieved - I think. Cheers and congrats on a wonderful channel.
cahenglish Hi there. Lol. Not a problem. Yes, I’ve tried that technique. It works but I find it not very smooth. Almost leaves a grainy texture finish. Works great with nail polish though 👍🏼👌🏼😊
Mary Mangano Thanks, Mary. I generally resin everything I do so I don’t know if I’d seal this but you can try the Krylon archival sprays or the Golden polymers UVLS varnish. Just test piece first 😊
7:35 The bottom left issue coroner area looks like a woman's chin with lipstick smile! Above that it looks like abstract craziness like whatever is going on in her mind or something! I love finding faces in odd places ! Gorgeous!
Hi Jane...wonderful video, thanks for posting it! 😊 My question is, could this be cut into a template (like you did in another video) to make coasters? Thanks.
Hi Jane. I have never seen this technique before. I am captivated. I have never done any painting art form but looking for a hobby. I think I have found it. Can I use a larger foil tray instead of a platter to hold the foamy ink mixture? I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for your video. P.S. I am recently widowed, on a limited budget living in a very small apartment. Looks like this art form is not expensive and doesn’t require a lot of room, hurray!!!
Fabulous tutorial Jane; I have a question for you if you don't mind? I am thinking of recycling card from cereal boxes etc, would gesso be the best to cover the card first? Thank you in advance.xxx
Just jaw- dropingly exquisite. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of creativity. I’m just wondering whether resin to seal and finish would work? Have you tried this? What would your thoughts be? Thank you
I have done this technique with dye ink and cardstock. It’s so much fun. Can you explain the difference between Canson mix media paper (that you buy in a pad) and the mix media artboards. I read on the Canson website what they are but just wondered why you suggest using the artboards vs just the paper. Is it because it makes it more sturdy or is there something else about artboards that you prefer? I have the paper pad already which is why I’m wondering if I need the artboards too?
Charlene Herter you don’t have to use the art boards. Card stock is fine. The cabs on art boards are thick and sturdy and they are similar to that of a watercolour block pad in that the paper is glued like a block with all the other pages until you peel one off with say an exacto knife. Hope that makes sense.
I am guessing with the artboard you do not get any warping. That always happens when I do the technique with cardstock. The shaving cream has enough moisture in it to warp your paper. I haven’t tried it with the mix media single sheets but that may be one advantage of using the artboards. I love your videos and can’t wait to try some of your techniques.
Pamela Faulkner I love Dr. Ph Martin brand. I love their Hydrus watercolour line and their inks too. Most paints/inks and even food colouring work well in this particular application. But alcohol inks are not the same as Bombay inks if that’s what you’re asking.
None of mine turned out even half as well :( i think it was the shaving cream I was using. It was more creamy than foamy. When i dropped the ink on the shaving cream it like started reacting and the ink bubbled? The cream kinda absorbed the ink instead of it sitting on top, it's like it sank to the bottom. No matter how much ink i added the colors came out super muted. I used Tim Holtz ranger inks. Im going to try different paper and shaving cream
keyata calloway oh great idea. No I haven’t tried but give it a go! Let me know if it works. My only issue is that the inks May not set in time before rubbing the foam off. Maybe try using a matte finish ceramic first.
A word of caution: Use the name brand shaving cream. I tried an off-brand from the dollar store and I thought something was wrong with my ink because it would not blend smoothly and it looked like it was full of undissolved dye specs. I switched to Gillette Foamy and it works as in the video. Whew!
Hi Sarah! I'm a newbie regarding marbling and I'm also from Argentina so I do not know the paint brand that Jane is using. It is an oil based paint? Thank you so much in advance!
Sorry to re-ask this question but I couldn't open up your replies to the others'. How do you clean/seal/finish these beautiful pieces? With Resin, Varnish, Or ?? Thank you so much - I too was literally sitting dropped jawed - mouth wide open! Card Stock? I'm saving up for your classes.
Val Hughes Hey Val, there should be a drop down arrow to the right of the screen just under the video. If you click on it it should display all comments. I didn’t use any varnish/resin on this particular piece. I used Canson multi media boards. So yes, similar to very thick card stock 😊
I haven't done this in years and decided to give it a go again. I used watercolor paper and card stock I had on hand but when I wiped it with a paper towel it smeared the ink. 😩
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling to find my "groove" with alcohol inks, I cannot seem to get it to flow the way I've seen it done and have become frustrated with the whole process. This has given me a new hope for a different direction 😁
I love how the metallic turned out.
What a fantastic idea to use AI’s. It’s amazing how beautifully they turn out when it looks like they’ve been mixed in. Gorgeous! Thank you

I was thinking same thing!
My names Josie too!
Lol I never see other Josies! 😂
I have watched several of these shaving cream videos. This one is the best I have seen. The colors are vibrant. They covered well. They made super prints. Thanks for the demonstration.
I bet they smell really good too! :0)
OMG this is so GORGEOUS!!!! seriously in love with the way this looks... thank you.
Gen Grant Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. 😊
Absolutely Love this !!! Thanks so much !! From Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I teach at an art camp every summer at my church. I just sent screen shots to the director along w your name Jane! I think the kids would be amazed with these results! 🤞🏽 hoping she's on board to do this next summer!

This is great! I can actually see this as a fun project to do with my nieces (9 and 10 years old).
Sandy Kay oh, they’ll have a blast 👍🏼
I do this with liquid watercolors but its TOTALLY different with alcohol inks. I can't wait for my inks to come in. The shaving cream technique is awesome!
So pretty, these would make great matting for framed pictures.
OMG Jane, when you pulled off that first sheet, my chin hit the keyboard LOL! So beautiful and I've got everything to get started. Thanks, so much, for sharing Jane!
Nancy Lynn Lol. Thanks, Nancy 😊💕
This is so cool. Can’t wait to try it.
Lorrie Pitts 👍🏼👍🏼
I didn't think I was going to like this technique vs some of the water techniques but the colors are SO vibrant in this technique I'm for sure going to try it. I'm going to give it a go on some handmade paper
Samantha Huff Awesome!

I am so in awe of your creativity and talents. I LOVE your videos! Thank you for showing us this cool fun way to play!!
Judy Sickles Thanks, Judy 😊
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing the technique
This would be so fun to do with a group of people. Thanks for sharing.
Ruth Geitgey Oh yes!! 😊😊 Thanks for watching, Ruth 🙏🏼
You can do this with spray inks as well and you can use regular cardstock.
Mixed Media Kam awesome!
Thank you Jane! Love your presentation style and the results are so inspiring.
As always- great fun and so informative. Thank you Jane
Terry Howson Thank you, Terry 💕😊😘
Such a fun and awesome trick! I just tried this out and what fun! I did manage to find an old rectangular tray that fit my paper perfectly.
Joanne Maioli Awesome 😊
Wow, loved these, so cool!
Amazing!!!! Totally love this!!! Will give it a whirl. Inspiring as always. Thank you so much for sharing!
Denise Sonmor You’re welcome 💕😊
Jane Monteith Loving this technique for backgrounds!!!

The only problem with this technique is the smell, your work smells like shaving cream for a very very long time. Best to use a shaving cream that has no odor if you don't want your work to smell like shaving cream :)
Christine Purdy yes it has been around for while. So much fun. You can avoid the smell with scent free shaving foam. 😊😊
Yes that's what I said in my comment, thanks for your video's Jane :)
That's what you said in your comment.
This is beautiful !!!!
Great combination of colours!!!
Kitty Mitzy Thank you 😊
I just put this video in my Favorites! Wow!
This is incredible!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Kathy Thompson You’re welcome. 😊
Thanks Jane a great instructional video!
So cool! Thank you for sharing!
Maggie Johnson You’re welcome 😊
Oh my goodness....this is gorgeous! I'm going out tomorrow to get some shaving foam! Thank you for sharing!
Thoroughly enjoying alcohol inks and your techniques. This one is so elementary. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tutorial. D. Maguire
This was a cool technique to show us
I think I'll try it in a bit
Of course, any art stuff takes practise
The first try often comes out like
SHAVING CREAM
Be nice and clean!
Shave every day and you'll always look keen!
:D
Great results there - much more like traditional paper marbling than most of the other videos I've seen. Looks like it could work well with sheets from a watercolor paper pad for headpages to bind books
Brilliantly Beautiful Thank You !!!!
angel Irene Crim Welcome 🙏🏼💕😊
That's a beautiful painting you did. That's cool how you did that. I'm going to try that. Thank you for the information and the other. Keep up the great work you do.
Wow great! Thank you so much for sharing this technique
Lena Krümelmonster You bet. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Wow! I LOVE how this turned out! So beautiful and vibrant! Thank you so much. New subscriber here :-)
Awesome tutorial Ma’am ....thank You so much 😍😍😍
Thanks for a great video. Had fun trying this technique. It didn't work on ceramic tile.
Thank you so much for this technique!
Very cool! Thanks for tip😇
They're beautiful!
I have done this before, using Dylon Fabric Dyes on aida fabric for cross-stitch. That was a lot messier! 😆😆
I love this!
Antonea Payan 😊😊
Beautiful
thanks Jane Monteith
Thanks for making this video . i like this video . at last thanks

This is awesome
Mellina Smith Thanks 😊👍🏼
It’s so beautiful , do you remove the foam once it dries
Love this technique , you can also use acrylic paint.
cheryl amey I’m sure it could work. Give it a try and let me know how it does. 👍🏼😊
Jane Monteith I have used them and it works great. So anyone that doesn't have inks can use paint and get the same results.
cheryl amey Oh, that’s great! Thank you 💕
Food coloring works great too...cheep!
Nice fun what do you use this boards for after
Brilliant stuff!! Can it be sealed the usual way?
This is a very cool technique. How would you seal this project. thanks. love all of your work.
Mary Mangano Thanks, Mary. I generally resin everything I do so I don’t know if I’d seal this but you can try the Krylon archival sprays or the Golden polymers UVLS varnish. Just test piece first 😊
do you use these pieces in any of your work. how light fast are they. thank you
Bonjour c'est quoi que vous utilisez de la mousse à raser ???
Et comme alcool sur la peinture vous mettez quoi ?
7:35 The bottom left issue coroner area looks like a woman's chin with lipstick smile! Above that it looks like abstract craziness like whatever is going on in her mind or something! I love finding faces in odd places ! Gorgeous!
Hi Jane...wonderful video, thanks for posting it! 😊
My question is, could this be cut into a template (like you did in another video) to make coasters? Thanks.
Kelly Redmond probably. Don’t see why not 😊 give it a go. 👍🏼
Omg.. that is so cool! Can this be done on a canvas or on canvas paper or watercolor paper?
Hi Jane. I have never seen this technique before. I am captivated. I have never done any painting art form but looking for a hobby. I think I have found it. Can I use a larger foil tray instead of a platter to hold the foamy ink mixture? I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for your video.
P.S. I am recently widowed, on a limited budget living in a very small apartment. Looks like this art form is not expensive and doesn’t require a lot of room, hurray!!!
Barbara DeSelle you can use whatever you wish.
Fabulous tutorial Jane; I have a question for you if you don't mind? I am thinking of recycling card from cereal boxes etc, would gesso be the best to cover the card first? Thank you in advance.xxx
Would this be able to be mounted onto birch and protected with resin?
What paper did you use for this effect please?
Just jaw- dropingly exquisite. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of creativity.
I’m just wondering whether resin to seal and finish would work? Have you tried this? What would your thoughts be? Thank you
Azica Kaiser you would have to mount the work to a rigid support if you wanted to resin.
Thank you Jane
Can you use this on ceramic tile?
They are beautiful. Do you seal them with anything? Kamar? UV?
msmcquade yes could use a protectant I like the Krylon brand too.
I have done this technique with dye ink and cardstock. It’s so much fun. Can you explain the difference between Canson mix media paper (that you buy in a pad) and the mix media artboards.

I love your videos and can’t wait to try some of your techniques.
Charlene Herter correct. No warping. 😊
Do you have to seal the finished product? Can this be done on canvas?
Jane can u tell me what you think about Dr PH martin Bombay Inks.... do I know if they are similar
Pamela Faulkner I love Dr. Ph Martin brand. I love their Hydrus watercolour line and their inks too. Most paints/inks and even food colouring work well in this particular application. But alcohol inks are not the same as Bombay inks if that’s what you’re asking.
I wonder if I could just put it (the shaving cream) on canvas and then scrape it off?
Clayclay_ 429 probably if it hasn’t been primed yet. You can also do this technique with acrylics. So give it go! 😊
What about using women's shaving foam?
Will this work on pre-primed canvas?
Oh my goodness! You are a genius!! 😯 They are gorgeous yet so simple!! How did you find out this technique? Xxx
None of mine turned out even half as well :( i think it was the shaving cream I was using. It was more creamy than foamy. When i dropped the ink on the shaving cream it like started reacting and the ink bubbled? The cream kinda absorbed the ink instead of it sitting on top, it's like it sank to the bottom. No matter how much ink i added the colors came out super muted. I used Tim Holtz ranger inks. Im going to try different paper and shaving cream
Might also have been that she uses Pinata inks which have a different base than the Ranger inks.
Would this work on an unprimed canvas ?
wonder if this would work on ceramic tile. Just beautiful!
What is the weight of the paper? Is it comparable to watercolor paper (140lb)?
Could this somehow be applied to t shirts?
Hi Jane, can this technique be used on ceramics?
keyata calloway oh great idea. No I haven’t tried but give it a go! Let me know if it works. My only issue is that the inks May not set in time before rubbing the foam off. Maybe try using a matte finish ceramic first.

Hi Sarah! I'm a newbie regarding marbling and I'm also from Argentina so I do not know the paint brand that Jane is using. It is an oil based paint? Thank you so much in advance!
Any way to get this look on a tile?
Would this work with food coloring? Thanks!
yes. But wouldn't be light fast
Where can you buy Alcohol ink paint from please?
Sorry to re-ask this question but I couldn't open up your replies to the others'. How do you clean/seal/finish these beautiful pieces? With Resin, Varnish, Or ?? Thank you so much - I too was literally sitting dropped jawed - mouth wide open! Card Stock? I'm saving up for your classes.

Ryan Taylor oh no. :-(
Eu quero comprar papel yupo. Onde?
What is the no bleed white out that you used?
PH Martin's
Can you use a canvas
did you tried it with yupo or dura lar paper?
Caro Masson she said she tried yupo paper and it didn’t work
What type of paper did you say you could NOT use, please?
Yupo
Would this work on tile?
Shawn Minarik maybe on a porous tile but definitely not on a glossy.
Jane Monteith thank you I love your videos....
I can use on canvas ? Pplease !
carmen letra probably. Just prep and prime
Cant we use cartrige sheets
yes
A+++++
As a man, would that mean I have to raid my wife's medicine cabinet, so she can't shave her arm pits?
😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling to find my "groove" with alcohol inks, I cannot seem to get it to flow the way I've seen it done and have become frustrated with the whole process. This has given me a new hope for a different direction 😁
kill3rkitt3ns yay! 😊💕🙏🏼
Could this be done on silk to make a scarf?
