Water Marbling, perfect for you the beginner...

You want to get creating right away...with the simplest way to get started?

I highly recommend starting with a kit. Jacquard offers a kit with instructions...5 colours of marbling paint, carageenan, and alum.

Imagine all the designs you can make with water marbling!

You will need 1 day to prep and 1 day to marble! Day 1 prep carageenan and alum. Day 2 you will marble!

Remember NO SOAP! Pre-rinse all your creating tools.

FLOATING MEDIUM (SIZE)- 16 cups of water to 4 teaspoons of carageenan powder. Mix then store overnight.

ALUM(MORDANT)- I USE A DIFFERENT FORMULA THEN THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!! 4 cups of hot water to 1/4 cup alum. Whisk. Set aside. Check for sediment, remix if needed. This can be applied to any item you want to marble using a sprayer, brush, or by soaking. Once applied you will set aside to dry overnight.

I have a 2 part series walking you thru these steps over on YouTube. Water Marbling for Beginnners – Part 1

There are so so so many items you can water marble. You can check out our YouTube videos for our prep process...
