A couple of weeks ago I had a blast learning how to marbleize paper with my good friends Ann and Kevin in their studio/gallery. You have to preplan this process as the water used to float the paint has carrageenan (seaweed stuff) and has to sit overnight. You also have to put an additive in the paint to get the right consistency. Then it is all about colors and patterns. Oh and tools, both bought and homemade.
Here is the setup and paint floating on the water solution.
And here are some of the fun papers. Kevin had a ‘recipe’ book on how to comb through the paint for different patterns.

I took a wonderful class at the John C Campbell Folk school on Marbling. We did fabric as well as paper. That is so much fun. I could not get it to work at home. Because I could not find the right stuff for the paint to float on. Years later I used the fabric as the backing for a quilt. It is quite addictive.
