Stylus Get Gell Red, Blue, Yellow

I recently took a course with Anne Murray and learned how to marbilize paper with acrylic paints. 

Marbling is not new... but origins not that specific  It was used a lot in the 19th century by bookbinders before the process became automated.  Today it is used by persons interested in creating patterned papers and fabrics.  This art is floating colors of ink or paints on a liquid to create designs/patterns.  The intricacy of the print onto paper will depend on the type of mabling you practice.  Results can be achieved with simple or complex working methods.  The instruction I received dealt with floating Golden Fluid Acrylic paint over a bath of carrageenan. Then using tools to manipulate the pattern The very first lesson was about mixing  the primary paint colors (red, blue, yellow) with distilled water.  We placed the blue color first with an pippette, then the red and the yellow last.  We used a stylus to move the paints by going up then down in one direction and then doing the same movement in a sideways direction. Then we laid down a white piece of paper which had been sized with nonj-food grade alum so the ink would adhere to the ink. Once design was made on the paper, it was then rinsed with water, then hung on a clothesline with a clothespin to dry.  The method for releasing the paper on the Carrageenan will take a lot of practice to avoid hesitation lines and air pockets that can appear in your design.  The Carrageeenan needs to have the top skimmed before and after using the bath as it can collect dust just by being exposed to the air. So we had a piece of plexiglass to keep it covered.  We made 2" strips of newspaper to clean the Carrageenan waterbath.
