I've had great success with carageenan so guess I'll just bite the bullet and buy more.

First off, I hand blended (using a wire whisk) the powder & water and then stirred in the ammonia, continuing to whisk. <br /><br />And the only paints that seemed to work with methylcel were Creatix (or Jaquard) Airbrush colors. If I used regular acrylics, the patterns just washed off and bled in the "rinse off" process. <br /><br />I usually go the expense and trouble of marbling with carageenan because it works with most heavy body acrylics (that have been watered down slightly). Airbrush colors also work well. It takes a lot of experimentation to find out WHAT works and what doesn't. But it's satisfying when it all works out.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174632121131310164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-8796932849244887572011-05-06T16:51:56.272-04:002011-05-06T16:51:56.272-04:00We did the same, wit more or less the same results...We did the same, wit more or less the same results, http://verfvirus.blogspot.com/2011/04/stof-marmeren.html<br />I look forward to see how the cargeenan works out!Nienkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174622659105816964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-57422554152173300712011-05-06T12:31:19.441-04:002011-05-06T12:31:19.441-04:00Fascinating experiments!

Look forward to seeing how the finished pieces look and to hearing about your carageenan experiments....xxDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417107068704956202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-35888154882147106492011-05-06T10:53:28.807-04:002011-05-06T10:53:28.807-04:00I'm so glad someone finally posted with marbli...I'm so glad someone finally posted with marbling results, I've been waiting impatiently! Interesting about the Methocel--think I'll go with the carageenan instead, since I can only afford one or the other. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your results from the next experiment, and also pics of the dried & ironed pieces you've created here.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331732432479030135noreply@blogger.com
