    Roberta and All: The company that demonstrated the marbeling technique with
    chalk is Dixon. They used the Prang Ambrite Colored Chalk (p.239 Sax
    catalog.) Judy

    I saw chalk marbleizing at an MAEA convention in Missoouri - the company's
    name escapes me - said only their chalk would work but I've tried it with
    other
    chalks. One scrapes chalk powder onto the surface of water and then lays
    the
    paper on top and the chalk is picked up. Do not know about the durability
    of
    this
    as compared to acrylic but for something that isn;t being used like a
    bookmark
    it might be the answer to a cheap project. Was going to do this with my
    kids
    this year but somehow didn;t get there. Worth the experiment. Roberta
