Hi!
I've tended to bind and marble using artists pads but would like some more ideas! SO what is everyone using in the UK using for textblock and marbling paper? :)
I know Shepherd sell Mi-Tientes for marbling and a few different book block papers but wondered what else was out there?
Which acrylic paints do you use and recommend?
I have been watching videos and reading articles/blogs online and doing my own experimentation but I'm not really having the best luck.
Hey /r/papercraft! Advanced thanks for taking the time to read my post.
With quarantine in full-swing, my paper crafting game has really amped up (namely origami) and I've really taken a liking to the thought of marbling my own paper.
The problem I run into is the GSM of most common papers used for marbling seem to be way higher than a traditional origami paper. From my research, typical marbling paper is 190GSM and suminagashi is recommended 250GSM. Origami paper usually doesn't run over 100GSM before you have to start wet-folding.
I'm considering the suminagashi technique as a way to get double-sided paper and I like the inks (although traditional marbling seems to have much more vibrant colors), but I'm not sure if I can dip a typical origami GSM paper into the water and have it come out okay.
I realize this is crazy specific but I hope there's someone out there who's experimented with this! Let me know if you have any other questions about what I'm trying to achieve. I really appreciate y'all!
Hello everyone! I came across paper marbling and wanted to try it for my origami paper. So here I am in this subreddit asking for advice!
First of I read online and watched a lot of YouTube videos and I got a sense of this spectacular form of art. I saw that you can use different kind of colours and papers and I was wondering what could be best for my purpose:
•I think that acrilic would be too 'plastic' for paper folding so I thought that watercolors could be a good option but they would need a thick absorbent paper right?
•As for the paper goes I was thinking of using rice paper (thai-unryu) or double/triple tissue paper (a light paper made with 2/3 sheet of tissue paper combined together with metylcellulose)
•Shoud I use jus water as the base or thicken it? (I don't know what should I use to thicken the water actually ahah
Any advice? ^ .^ thank you in advance for your time! <3
