I tend to catch bubbles on heavier papers because they don’t roll down as smoothly.

The second wipeout was a heavy “cloth-like” paper napkin. Slick magazine pages are very iffy, they might work, but they might not. Some color did stick, but it was very messy.
The first was a very slick brochure, both the alum and paint tended to slide off. You can marble almost any kind of paper, but the results will vary. This will probably take several blogs and may be interspersed with other commentary.įirst comes the paper.

There are so many things that can go wrong and so many variants that sometimes it’s hard to figure out where the problem occurred. It doesn’t happen as frequently as I’d like, but it does happen. One of the most satisfying experiences I have when I’m marbling is hanging a finished sheet and realizing it is perfect.
