Sharon Giles will present a demonstration of this technique on Monday, March 26, 7-9pm for the membership meeting of the Society of Watercolor Artists. Guests are welcome. It will be held at the UNT Health Science Center in Everett Hall (directions). Note: The meeting was rescheduled from last week due to weather.
The oldest and simplest form of marbling paper comes from Japan and is known as Suminagashi, which means 'ink floating or spilled ink'. Ink is applied to the surface of a pan of water. The floating colors are then carefully manipulated either by blowing on them directly or through a straw, fanning the colors, or carefully using a stick to stir the colors. A thin paper is laid on the top of the colors, then removed, and laid aside to dry.
You can use this process for creating scrapbooking papers, greeting cards, ATCs, collage, journaling, stationary, decoupage, endpapers, bookmarks, papercrafts, marbled mats, backgrounds for painting, stamping, calligraphy or poetry -- or just mat & frame as a painting.
