Those links I posted didn't work correctly either. Here's a direct link to the image: <http://sammlungen-archive.hgkz.ch/media/full/16-0478.jpg> That should...
Works perfectly, thanks Jake. I remember the ad, and that the child I was then wondered whey a typewriter could have the same size as an egg! Susanne Krause ...
After some time of trials with the CMC-based size I have experienced that it caused some problems - or at least some unwanted effects. Of course - I can't tell...
Reading all this talk of MC varieties and their problems, really makes carrageenan look like child's play. Is anyone using it anymore or am I an old timer? It...
Iris, I totally agree with your preference for carragheenan for marbling (with the possible exception of a variant spelling). Use it for paper, fabric,...
A very stong opinion in this respons from Iris. I like that. Carraghenan is great with water colours! Even with my very modest experience I will say that there...
I started marbling in Haiti in 1959-65. My teacher had studied and apprenticed France. We made the size with water and cow bone marrow (messy process, used oil...

Thanks for sharing your story and your photos, momo. I also have "stuck" with carrageenan. I have some really old (I mean really old) podwer which has always...

Greetings everyone, I've just uploaded a PDF version of Francis Bacon's account of marbling from his Sylva Sylvarum. The images were made available courtesy...
Hi Elinor and Jake, today I received my copy of the book, it has the printing error on p. 70 you mentioned, Elinor, so it seems to be an overall-thing. I have ...
... Hi, Jake, Once again, thank you for all your information. Your comments about using the 50-50 solution of methylcel and caragheenan are interesting - I...
Jake- The 50/50 mixture sounds like an experiment I'd like to try. I use Golden acrylics pretty much exclusively anyway for paper & fabric. But please...
I'm a newbie here, so maybe others already know, but could you tell us where you obtained the HPMC? I use Golden Fluid Acrylics with acrylic flow release and...
Thank you Jake and Elinor for posting that! I just want let you know that Francis Bacon's 'Sylva Sylvarum' images (the whole book) can be viewed with great...
Thanks to Jake and Elinor to post this links. And to Renato, for the interesting ECHO web. I have a spanish translation of the text by Kircher. With the help...
We hope you will reserve the evening of April 17th to join us in welcoming Martin Antonetti, Curator of Rare Books in the Mortimer Rare Book Room at Smith...
Many people use the term "Methyl Cellulose" to refer to a wide range of cellulose ethers and it is something of a misnomer. The kind of cellulose ether...
... Would you please say more about the above copied paragraph - what size - the caragheenan? What wax? And while I understand the burnishing process, I...
Thanks for posting this valuable resource, Renato! Unfortunately your direct links didn;t come through. I find taht for very long links, you must use the...

Well, so much for "Fixed Links"! 'm not sure how I did it, but I see that I somehow managed to paste the link to Bacon's account three times. Well, at least...
