Marbling Paints

Marbling paints can be used for marbling the surface of fabric, paper and card. The smoother the surface, the better the transfer. A tray is prepared containing a solution of size. This is made using a marbling medium such as carrageenan or methyl cellulose. The marbling paint is dropped onto the surface of the size and manipulated using a comb, cocktail sticks etc. Additional colours can be added to the pattern and the paints featured below will remain permanent on fabric once heat set.
