DYES: Marbling
Marbling is a printing process that takes an image up from a
bed of size onto paper or cloth. Endpapers in old books were often
marbled; also silk scarves and note paper. Golden Fluid Acrylics
with our Methyl-Cellulose give easy, finely detailed, controllable
prints on fabric. Paper will also take prints, but results may not
be as intense. Use Alum to pre-treat fiber, to prepare it to better
accept pigment (a mordanting process). |

MARBLING STARTER SET This set has four colors of Golden Fluid Acrylics,
4 ounces of marbling size, 4 ounces of alum, bamboo stirring sticks, a comb
for swirling, and complete instructions. You will need a flat pan to work
in and cloth or paper to marble on.
METHYL CELLULOSE Not all methyl-cellulose is created equal. For marbling,
this is the good stuff.
An oz of methyl-cel makes about a gallon of size. For marbling paints, we
recommend the Golden Fluid Acrylics. CARRAGEENAN
Marbling medium derived from seaweed. Mix with warm water, about 2 tablespoons
to a gallon. Sold in 4 and 8 ounce packs
Basic Marbling Instructions free with order - ask.
