I am once again connected to this dialogue. I had been connected to ListOne, but got discouraged with the time it took to sort through things to find items of...
Thanks for the info.....I think the Permalin papers are more forgiving of acrylics than the watercolors. I have found the tech at Permalin to be helpful and is...
The last few times I've marbled, my size becomes contaminated about my fifth scarf into a session. It leaves bumpy, blank spots in the pattern and makes it...
If the spots are BLANK and bumpy, are they size lumps? If so thin the size or blend it better. What proportions do you use? I can't comment on Spectralite, but...

Dear Angela, I also marble some scarves but I don,t think your problen is limited to fabric marbling. I have had this problem both with paper and fabric. I...
Hi,everybody, I am pasting a web page address here that will take you to a collection of machine made fabrics that are all (for the most part) marbled designs...
I am a quilter who marbles and I'm not sure the answer is as simple as good or bad. I had played with the idea of selling marbled fabric to quilters but I...
I'm curious as to how the alum contaminates the tank. Does excess alum not soak into the fabric and then releases itself on the surface of the size? I have...
Hi Susa!, First I,d like to say "what lovely work you do! I saw the notes back n forth,and looked at your site,I WAS IMPRESSED. I started marbling fabric...

Hi, All, I know that when I studied with Milena, she emphasized the importance of thorough skimming after printing. We worked mostly with paper and some...
After watching the demonstrations at the Marbler's Gathering, I got bolder about scraping the size (methyl cel here) off of my freshly printed fabric & back...
If you don't want your acrylic paint to wash down the drain you do. Need alum , that is. Methyl cel holds the pigment up on the surface of itself. It's a...

I marbled with oil paint from 1976 to 1984 (not being aware of the acrylic option, having learned marbling from someone who only marbled in oils). The reason...

In looking at my older sheets of oil marbling, I do note that it is an oily residue which flows to the back of the paper. Depending upon the type of paper...

Yes, it really is the oil paint that soaks through the paper. I painted in oils for many years before moving into watercolor and acrylics. Oil paint is...
OK. I have only marbled for two years and never full time. Even so I have produced quite a number of marbled papers WITHOUT EVER using alum. For the first six...
Hi Maria, I am happy to see there is somebody else out there who prefers not to use alum. No alum, no contamination, no washing . . . Regards Alparslan ... ...
I don't need alum as a rule with my acrylics if excess is not used, and the colors are very bright. It also depends on the paper used. Oils never need it. If...
Dear Iris.--- Please tell me, so that I will not order the failed paper, which items did your receive that performed so poorly? Like, which exact things from...
Dear Angela: I have made thousands of exceptional scarves with very few "seconds." Believe me, I have suffered through every problem there is. Try adding...
