CARRAGEENAN

Carrageenan is a seaweed extract and is used to make the size bath. This is the instant, "no-cook" variety and can be easily made in a blender. Carrageenan gives a size bath superior to any other in marbling, and was developed for use by the "father" of modern marbling, Josef Halfer at the turn of the century.
Gives the finest lines possible foreither water-based or acrylic marbling.

1 - 9 lbs.-$24.00/lb. 10lbs. or more $23.00/lb.

ALUM

Alum is a white crystaline powder, which is dissolved in hot water and sponged onto paper before marbling. Fabrics also need to be dipped into an alum solution prior to marbling. Alum is a "mordant", an agent which binds the colors to the item being marbled.

1 - 9 lbs.-$7.50/lb. 10 lbs.or more - $6.75/lb

OX-GALL

Ox-gall is the fluid found in the gall bladder of a bovine animal such as an ox or cow. It is used to
disperse the water-based marbling colors, and enables them to float and remain separate from one another on the surface of the size. A little goes a long way.

ORDERING INFORMATION - MARBLED PAPERS

THE PATTERNS - Basic patterns can be seen in the above samplings. Many variations are possible though. If you have any other ideas or need an early paper duplicated feel free to inquire.

CONSISTENCY - All the sheets are individually hand-marbled, so there are slight differences from sheet to sheet of the same design. This is actually a sign of their authenticity. It is, however, possible to match large amounts of paper very closely for edition runs.

COLORS - Thecolors are ground in the studio. They are formulated to give most traditional look possible. It is best to order papers that need to match closely at the same time, as there may be minor "dye-lot" differences from batch to batch.

PAPER - The sheets are 19" X 25", short grain. Most people prefer the pattern to run up and down the 25" side, so most of our backupstock is made this way. If you prefer the design to run the other way,
this may be ordered. There really is no true right side up for the patterns, as they were laid into the old books in many different directions. Colored Papers and Long Grain papers are available on
special order. Stock is now made on acid-free paper, though the marbling process puts a little acid on the marbled side, but it is minimal and can be further deacidified by the purchaser if necessary.

CUSTOM ORDERS - The sheets are made in sets of four, so there is a minimum of four of any custom paper, or in multiples of four (4,8,12,etc.). Allow 2-3 weeks for custom orders, with very large orders possibly taking a bit longer. Custom orders are not exchangeable. Orders may be placed in any quantity. If you wish for sample sheets they will be priced per sheet, S/H charges apply.

STOCK ORDERS - We maintain a large backup stock, always ready for immediate shipment. It is not possible to stock all designs in all color themes, but generally there is something close to what you need on the shelf. There is no minimum for stock orders, and they are exchangeable at any time for any reason as long as they are returned in resaleable condition and the appropriate shipping amount is enclosed for your return order.

TERMS - Please enclose payment with order, or you may have your papers shipped COD for an additional $5.00 (subject to rate changes)in addition to the regular shipping amount listed. If you wish a FED/EX delivery, please include your FED/EX account number with your order.

CLASSES - Private lessons are available at your convenience in the marbling studio. Occassional workshops also available.Call or write for more information.
