I just used this technique a few days ago at a ladies group meeting
What I do is to take a heavy duty plastic organizer box and pour in
starch until it is about an inch in depth, then I take the first color
of my acrylic paint(this will be your main color) and swirl it on top of
the starch, next I take my second color and drizzle it over the first
layer of color, then you may take a plastic fork and "pull" through
vertically and horizontally until you get a design that you like.
Taking a sheet of bond or copy paper, I bow it in the middle and lay
it gently on top of the mixture, then letting the ends fall on top of
the mixture. Lift the piece of paper out and lay on paper towels or
newspapers to dry. It will take about 4 hours for the paint to dry
completely.
