Tammy Taylor creates a gel dotting technique for a beautiful marbling effect with a lot of control, so you can determine how much or how little marbling you want."I also like how you can use any combination of colors, and how it looks similar to a lacy pattern; making the technique really versatile. You can use it all by itself or as a background in many designs," Taylor says.
