Marbled Fabrics

Here's pictures of some of the better marbled pieces I made.

Marbling Fabric Again

I bought the Marbling DVD by Jo Fitsell, http://www.jofitsell.com/ which is very informative and had a more successful marbling session Tuesday. The major differerence between this session and my prior ones was using the Golden acryllics as recommended by Fitsell. They have a higher pigment content and once diluted with water, float well on the carrageenan surface.  I also let the carrageenan sit overnight and did the drying and washing as Fitsell recommends in her DVD.  Here are some in process photos.

Here is a piece just printed and placed on newspaper.

Here's another.

Here's the bath of floating concentric circles ready

 for the fabric to be laid on top to capture the print.

Here is the resulting print.

Fabrics need to sit flat and dry for at least 24 hours before getting washed out gently by hand.  Here they are drying after their bath.  Hope to get them ironed and post more photos soon.
