When I started marbling I had trouble finding videos showing Western style paper marbling with combs, so I published mine, assuming other people familiar with marbling might be interested. These are not tutorial videos, but since so many people have asked, I’ll explain the process a little here: The bath is a mixture of carrageenan and water (2TBS/gallon). The paints are acrylic, thinned with water till they’re a milky consistency. (If done correctly the paints will float and spread on the surface of the bath rather than sink to the bottom.) Once enough paint has been added so that the surface of the bath is saturated the patterns are created by pulling combs of versions sizes through in different order or direction, depending on the pattern. The paper is pre-treated with a mixture of alum (1 cup desolved in a gallon of water) which works as a mordant so the paint will stick to the paper. The alum treated side of the paper is laid over the paint and lifts it off the bath when it is removed. Once the paper has dried it’s ready to use!

Hi, can you please continue to make these videos? They are really helpful for a beginner marbler who wants to keep doing this as more than a hobby. Thanks!

I don’t currently have a studio space, but if I do again I’ll make more videos! Best of luck on your marbling!

*May I ask what percent of carrageenan to water you use? Love these video’s. I’d love to see more of them from you. Can you do a video on how to make the tools you use for the patterning? Thanks. Tree*

I used about 2TBS of carrageenan per gallon of water. I don’t currently have a studio space, but I’ll film more videos again some day if I can.

Thanks for the videos! What kind of acrylic paint do you use? Also, do you have any tips about what to look for in paper? I recently tried paper marbling for the first time use a Jacquard kit and had so much fun, I'd really like to do it again with a better color selection. I tried mixing my own colors using a few different kinds of acrylic paint I had around the house but I couldn't get them to work so I want to go into my next trial with more knowledge.

Yeah, a lot of acrylic paint does not work well, they spread too much, push other colors out of the way and look really washed out. I use Utrecht Artist Acrylics (not the fluid ones), most of them work great (except for red, haven’t found a good red yet) But it takes a little trial and error sometimes. A good rule of thumb is to avoid any of those long, hard to read, synthetic pigments. And really any paper will work. If it’s really thick it’s hard to lay on the bath, though. I love texoprint paper for marbling! It’s very strong but thin and doesn’t stretch or curl much when wet so it is really easy to work with. But I use just regular copy paper if I’m experimenting. I choose the paper based on what I want to use the end product for.

Hello Rachel, thank you for sharing your talent. Can you let me know how to make your tray and wash board.

@rachelcampbell6147 3 жыл бұрын

I didn’t make mine. I think I got it from Talas, but if you search online you can find places that sell them.

Your size looks of the right viscosity, what is the amount of carrageenan to water?

Cathy Gish The equipment I’m using in this video are supplies at my school (North Bennet St. School). But I have my own setup at home too. I got my tank from www.colophonbookarts.com/marbling they have everything you need. But I’ve made most of my own combs. And I mix my own paints using Ultrecht acrylics and distilled water. My favorite paper for marbling is texoprint which you can get from marbleart.us (they’ve got lots of other marbling equipment also).
