Suminagashi marbling this time
Yesterday, I pulled out my supplies for doing Suminagashi marbling. A very different experience than Ebru marbling, and very different results too. I really should practice this more often - I haven't tried it for a long time. So rather than paint and carageenan size, Suminagashi uses ink and water. There is not a lot of information about Japanese marbling available, but there is a book by Anne Chambers that you might be able to get if you are looking for detailed information.

Ah, this is the sort of marbling me & my friend did at school (we were not popular because we made such a mess!). It did look wonderful.
Love your results so far. Have you tried waterproof Indian ink, with coloured water-based inks? It looks wonderful.
Great results. I must find something more about this technique.
I like the free flowing nature of Suminagashi. Do you use Boko Undo coloured inks, and have you found a Canadian supplier?
I've always enjoyed sumi marbling - its organic nature is so appealing
Thanks Lizzie, Magda, PP, and ronnie.
Magda, you can get a kit for getting started with Suminagashi - all materials and instructions from Colophon Book Arts: www.colophonbookarts.com
Laura and Lizzie, I'm using Boko Undo inks. I've never tried India inks. But Laura, I have to import them - there's no Canadian source that I know about.
I love that soft, gentle rippling look. Very nice, Rhonda.
thanks, Carol!
thanks Rob!
