Perfect tutorials for this. I am just starting and waiting for all my ingredients to arrive. I will spray paint my pan white as that is a great tip. Also, I will move into the garage with a work sink, instead of my kitchen!
That was amazing. I have been studying for months on CZcams and have found a 'real person' experience and a 'real personal' account of how and why. Thank you so much!!
I loved hearing EVERY detail of how you did this marbeling. You laid out all of the info in a great, easy to follow way! Have you done any more since this video came out? I think these prints are so professional looking. The difference between this and shaving cream marbeling is so apparent! People who can take the few minutes it takes to learn the basics will be able to create stunning effects! Thanks so much for showing this! It put me in mind of William Morris for some reason...the prints are just gorgeous!
I just did a marble kit from amazon and i didnt have to do anything to my paper...thr paint appears to be acrylic and i have no idea what the water stuff was..made it kind of slippery feeling and had to sit for 6 hours to dissolve...i didnt get to it for a whole other 24 hours and it worked fantastic...bright as all get out..and floated wonderfully..
Hi Qian, thank you! You caught me red-handed. I haven't made another video yet because I didn't see much interest. I need to make another video or two with more lovely designs. Stay tuned! Take care.
Hi, I think what's typically used is urea for fabric, but I have very little experience with fabric. Also, make sure the fabric can absorb paint (cotton, silk, rayon, etc)
hi! unfortunately I can't buy from that website since I'm Italian and shipping from the US means huge taxes (i tried once with Angelus paint for leather and that was terrible). So what kind of colors do you recommend to use? Online somepeople say oil colors, others say gouache...any advice?
Hi. The paint only needs to stick to one side, so I treat only that side. However, if you want to dip the paper and get both sides covered, I don't see a problem with that. The alum oxidizes and becomes ineffective, so I'm sure it would be the same on any paper--although I have not tried it out.
Hi Gloria. I'm not sure. I would think if you squeezed out only a small amount (so it wouldn't sink) and gently dropped it on the surface it may work. I have never tried it though, do I can't say for sure. Thank you for your question.
it depends on the thickness of your paint and water or whatever dipping mixture you use. i do try lines but they normally just spread out across the surface no matter how hard i try to avoid it. id love to know if anyone figures out how to achieve this though!
I haven't worked with ceramics enough to know for sure but I think acrylics can be used with ceramic, you should just have to seal it. Be sure to check other sources for this information also. Thank you!
Thank you! I use the plastic "straw" brushes and band them together. I found them at marbleart.us. They are thin plastic round strips which are frayed at the tips.
Hi Alrene, thank you! I buy my supplies from marbleart.us/. You can try that, I am very happy with their products. If they don't deliver to South Africa, you may try this: www.jacquardproducts.com/marbling-kit?rq=paper%20marbling. I have ordered from them before as well. Take care!
Hi Alice. I use some paper in my journals. I plan on listing many in our shop as well. Sorry for the very late reply. Somehow I did not see your post until today. Take care!
HI Mike, Thank you for your input; I appreciate the feedback. I thought I had presented each step in a logical order. I did have notes; sometimes it is difficult to express things perfectly when you only have one chance to film. Hopefully, the next marbling video (to be made soon) will be an improvement to this offering.~Betsy
Hi again, Mike. Perhaps it was too much chatter, but there a lot of details to cover and our audience members, for the most part, have been beginners. I hope I haven't turned you completely against our conversational style channel.~Betsy
Hello Tracy, thank you for your comment. I felt I was totally prepared for this video but, obviously, it did not come across that way. It is easy to forget a detail or two when a person has to transfer all components from one place to another so as to film. I did have notes, but in the course of filming this in a conversational style, it maybe seemed flippant and not thought out. I hope you will stay tuned for part 2 and maybe it will be new and improved. Once again, I appreciate your input.~Betsy
Such a thorough explanation, unlike so many other videos. Great Job and thank you for sharing you're knowledge.
Perfect tutorials for this. I am just starting and waiting for all my ingredients to arrive. I will spray paint my pan white as that is a great tip. Also, I will move into the garage with a work sink, instead of my kitchen!
THANK YOU! you covered the alum, carrageenan, paint thickness AND Cleaning the Size! Brilliant.
That was amazing. I have been studying for months on CZcams and have found a 'real person' experience and a 'real personal' account of how and why. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this indepth tutorial. I have a deeper appreciation for this art form.
Thats awesome, a little long winded, but fantastic, thank you ❤️
This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! Perfect video!

Awesome 👌👌😍😍
I just love this techinic. What are some of the uses for marble papers? I would love to do this with my grandkids. 💖 Looking forward to part 2 !
Thank you! I use them for collage, bookbinding, book pages, stationery, and decoupage. I'm planning on part two soon!
Super
Reall y good tutorial❤️
Really helpful!!! When will part2 come out?
Hi Qian, thank you! You caught me red-handed. I haven't made another video yet because I didn't see much interest. I need to make another video or two with more lovely designs. Stay tuned! Take care.
Yay, Green.
Do I need to use alum if I am using shirts instead of paper
Hi, I think what's typically used is urea for fabric, but I have very little experience with fabric. Also, make sure the fabric can absorb paint (cotton, silk, rayon, etc)
hi! unfortunately I can't buy from that website since I'm Italian and shipping from the US means huge taxes (i tried once with Angelus paint for leather and that was terrible). So what kind of colors do you recommend to use?
Online somepeople say oil colors, others say gouache...any advice?
Is there a reason to NOT treat both sides of the paper with alum? Would different paper like cotton paper hold the alum better?
Hi. The paint only needs to stick to one side, so I treat only that side. However, if you want to dip the paper and get both sides covered, I don't see a problem with that.
The alum oxidizes and becomes ineffective, so I'm sure it would be the same on any paper--although I have not tried it out.
@@ideastimestwo3522 O.K., so it's a matter of the alum chemically changing with age as opposed to evaporating or wearing off. Gotcha, thanks.
Can a squeeze bottle be used to apply the paint if you want solid lines
Hi Gloria. I'm not sure. I would think if you squeezed out only a small amount (so it wouldn't sink) and gently dropped it on the surface it may work. I have never tried it though, do I can't say for sure. Thank you for your question.
@@ideastimestwo3522 👌 thank you
it depends on the thickness of your paint and water or whatever dipping mixture you use. i do try lines but they normally just spread out across the surface no matter how hard i try to avoid it. id love to know if anyone figures out how to achieve this though!
It looked like a classic book binding paper with the dark green. The blue ruined it.
super
Thanks for the tutorial. Quick question though. Can the same paint be used for ceramic items too?
I haven't worked with ceramics enough to know for sure but I think acrylics can be used with ceramic, you should just have to seal it. Be sure to check other sources for this information also. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you so much! What kind of brush is that you use?
Thank you! I use the plastic "straw" brushes and band them together. I found them at marbleart.us.
They are thin plastic round strips which are frayed at the tips.
I suppose I can't use this technique for a gessoed hardboard?
Hi Susan, I haven't tried it, but I believe it would work just fine.
This is gently beautiful , where do I buy the kit because I live in South Africa , Cape Town , let me know please who do I contact 😊

sorry but what is gall? what you use to the paint
Hi. Gall is a synthetic liquid used in paper marbling for thinning paint. The paint I used is acrylic.
Ox Gall
Hello...new viewer here, couldn't find part 2? 🤷🏽♀️
I haven't published it yet. I'm hoping to get to it soon.. I need more marbled paper in my stash! Thanks for your patience!
@@ideastimestwo3522Thanks for the in detail info part 1 and looking forward to part 2! It really helps paper marbling newbies! 🌈🌈🌈 like me 🥰
I noticed you didn't pour all of the thickened water into the jelly roll pan do you have some left or are you supposed to use the full gallon
Hi Gloria, I only used half of the batch for the video. It's so much fun, I should get on it and make another batch very soon. Thanks for the comment.
What do you with the beautiful paper that is done.
Hi Alice. I use some paper in my journals. I plan on listing many in our shop as well. Sorry for the very late reply. Somehow I did not see your post until today. Take care!
Prepare before you post please. It helps. Metric measurements help too for an international audience.

Your sound echos and some of your words are lost.
Good God, do Americans ever stop endlessly chatting instead of focusing on what they are doing!
Hi again, Mike. Perhaps it was too much chatter, but there a lot of details to cover and our audience members, for the most part, have been beginners. I hope I haven't turned you completely against our conversational style channel.~Betsy
its awesome but you talk to much
Good stuff but drove me crazy by not really being prepared for this video. Prepare what you are going to say and have notes.
Hello Tracy, thank you for your comment. I felt I was totally prepared for this video but, obviously, it did not come across that way. It is easy to forget a detail or two when a person has to transfer all components from one place to another so as to film.
