How do you make faux marbelizing on inflated balloons using acrylic paints?

It seems like we took a tub of water and added a suspension agent (liquid starch maybe?) then squirted different colored acrylic paints into the liquid, briefly ';swirled'; through the liquid with a plastic spoon. Took the inflated baloon and dipped it into the liquid mixture and as you remove it, the ';marbeled'; mixture adheared to the baloon. I don't remember what the suspension agent is or ratio used.How do you make faux marbelizing on inflated balloons using acrylic paints?
