    How to marble paper using the Suminagashi technique. Simply pour water into a tray and gently touch your inked paintbrush to the surface of the water to draw the ink out. Once you're satisfied with your design, lay a sheet of paper atop it and peel it away.
    This is an activity for people of all ages - if working with small children, use disposable cake tins for a vat and pieces of yarn instead of paintbrushes.
    For 'clear' ink, use a mixture of a drop of dish soap to a cup of water.
    Suminagashi inks used:

    Paper: 100% cotton works best

      Lovely technique. In the description it says ink. Is that Ecoline ink?

      You're welcome! I believe this tray was 16 x 20, maybe larger - it was at my job and they have lots that are all different sizes. It's a photo processing tray and you can pick them up from B&H Photo, eBay or Amazon.

      Thanks for posting. Would love to explore it in my work. Do you know if it is archival if used on 100% cotton rag, i.e. does the ink contain acids that will eventually destroy the paper? Is it sumi ink or something different? Do you know the ingredients?

      Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always tell my students that it's perfectly okay for their first book or marbled print to look terrible - it's a learning experience and the more mistakes you make, the more you learn from them!

    From time to time, I make a point to spend some time investigating something in which I have no active interest, just for the sake of seeing what's there. This is often very rewarding. Tonight, the topic was marbling, and I wound up here. I am now completely fascinated and am going to go out and buy what I need to do this tomorrow as soon as the shops open.
    Well done.

    I teach a class for blind crafters at out local Center for Vision Loss. I'm going to figure out how to adapt this craft and I think the yarn technique will help a lot. When you talked about your breath moving the water I thought maybe chanting something or saying a prayer might be interesting to see how that infuses spirit into the art. Thank you for doing this!

    Just when I'm thinking I don't really care for the remaining circle at the end, you BLOW on it. OMG, incredible pattern. Now I'm hooked. Thanks for taking time to make inspiring video. I enjoyed Turkish marbling, playing with a riot of colors. Now I see the beauty in monochrome.

    • @Kateoe
      @Kateoe 7 років тому

      Hi Everett - did the stamp pad ink work for you? Mine didn't, unfortunately. I am now using the German drawing ink called "Scribtol" by Pelikan, which works very nicely. It's only available in black, though.
