You have my husband to thank for this video. He has been suggesting for a while that I try marbling some scarves to see how it turns out. Wow!! These turned out so awesome! It takes a while to prep everything for the marbling, but it is totally worth it!
I thickened the water and used Jacquard dyes on the water. I bought some 100% silk scarves and they turned out beautifully. I will need to expand my color palette and try out some more to see what beautiful creations I can make with this technique!

Beautiful. Can’t believe you got any thumbs down. My Junior High School Gym teacher taught us all, “When you can do it ten times better, then you can criticize.”

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you so much!

[@crazyauntcc9491]

That’s so cool! I’ve never seen anything like it but then I’m no artist, unless you count nail art! It reminds me of the drag marble technique we nail artists use when doing nails. We lay down a base color on a nonstick surface roughly 2x the size of each nail then drop dots of other colors on each base square use a watermarbling, or pointed instrument of some kind (orange wood stick, dotting tool, needle) we drag the colors around each square until we make the desired design, top coat each decal, allow to almost dry, apply a sticky base coat to each nail, apply the decal over the base coat, remove the excess decal, use a brush dipped in acetone to melt the rest of the decal to the nail as well as clean up the excess, apply top coat over that, allow to dry & voila!- drag marble nails that look just like your scarves! Which are so gorgeous btw, I love them! We also use water marbling to do nail art but it’s a Little different you should look it up here on KZbin you might enjoy trying it out on your nails! I’m not very good at water marbling yet you have to be fast and have a light touch but I love to drag marble! It’s really fun and calming! Thanks for sharing this technique with us it’s just gorgeous & looks like a lot of fun!

Hi Amanda i am from Turkey ebru is one of our national art although only my mom does it and i don't have any skill on doing it i wanted to say your colors harmonie is perfect great work 👍

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@BlaizC]

I used to do paper marbling, and one tool we used was a rake. It's just a piece of wood as wide as the container that has finish nails in it. Depending on how much space you leave between the nails, you get different looks when you pull it through the dye. Also, google paper marbling to see how to make some interesting patterns. Amazing work, as usual!

[@kathybrowne6056]

WOW they all came out beautiful thank you for sharing your journey with dye and silk love it.

[@KissesOnMySkin1001]

[@stevestevenson6871]

Good evening from Germany. I watched the video "My First Ebru Marbling Silk Scarves!" Saw it on youtube and was fascinated right away. It's just a pity that we don't find out which carrier medium is stirred into the water or whether it's just pure water where the colors are dripped on. I'm also interested in what colors you use for marbling? Are the colors mixed with water? Or is there something else for the colors? I look forward to hearing from you. Greetings from Germany

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I used carrageenan to thicken the water and I am using various dyes for the marbling.

[@shelleys55]

Your work is incredible!! I think it is wonderful that your husband supports you in your endeavors. Mine did that when he was alive and it created a lot of interesting adventures for us. What type of dye do you use.

[@nowherenowhere3973]

eye really want to try this but eye am curious if there is any specific type of ink or paint that would make the designs last longer on the scarves. its such a therapeutic form of art. eye really want to try it eye just dont want to invest on random inks and have it not work :( can some one help me with this!!

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Search for fabric dyes. I used silk dyes in this but I believe there are other dyes for different types of clothe.

Watching this was a very beautiful experience. Where could I take a class to learn how to do this beautiful marbling?

Thank you so much 😀 I think you'll just have to do some googling to see if there are in person or online classes for marbling.

[@sophiebuzora9616]

Very nice! I was wondering, what kind of paint did you use? Out of your experience, can I marbling silk chiffon as well? Thank you for sharing this video! I subscribed!

can you tell me more about the fabric and the water what did u but in the water to be thick thank u

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I thickened the water with carageenan. The fabric is silk scarves.

[@kekejivery8405]

Does the paint go all the way through the scarf so you have a “painted surface “ on both sides? Looks like it just prints on the side you laid down on the size.

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I am using dye, not paint. Yes you can see the medium on the front and back.

[@kekejivery8405]

These are not dyes. These are Marbling Colors from Jacquard and these are paints not dyes. Unfortunately people get the terminology wrong !

[@belladonna1083]

Where do you buy your fabric? Looks like fun

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I bought mine online from Dharma trading co.

[@rosamonllau9394]

It turned out beatifull . Please keep trying. You really master it already. How do you thicken the water. what product do you use for that ? Is that plain water? Thanks for showing and sharing

[@rachael9261]

How many times can you reuse the water after skimming the surface between marblings?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I don't have an exact number; if you keep on skimming it, you can keep on using it.

[@lwarteman]

So, my husband and I built a wooden frame (for painting), but I'm thinking I can turn that into a tray for marbling. Could I just make it all out of wood and then put the plastic sheeting in it? I was wondering if you made your tray. Thanks.

[@talibitton3915]

Hi, did you build your water table?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Yes it is just made out of wood, my husband made it for me.

[@darlabostick6124]

After the scarf is pulled from the water bath what do you do? Set it with something? Iron? How do you make it "set"?

[@rosannahutson9757]

Did you use Alum? Only synthrapol? I thought the silk needed some prep.Thank you!

[@KalpanaImaginationArtandEngPoe]

Thank u, lovely !!is this pure silk? Can we use cotton???

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you! yes, this is silk. I think you can use cotton but you'd have to research dyes and see if the same dye that works on silk would also work on cotton.

[@wandahumphrey9378]

What type of vat are you using? And where would someone purchase it?

This was a wood trough that my husband made for me. I couldn't find anything long enough to buy.

Can u tell the thinner agent and paint u use

[@aq3018]

I mean thikning agent

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I use carrageenan to thicken the water.

[@garyhorne2238]

Can you use anything other than Carragreen as it has some bad side effects. Some scientists have presented evidence that carrageenan is highly inflammatory and toxic to the digestive tract, and claim that it may be reponsible for colitis, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, and even colon cancer. Not sure how accurate. 👍

[@wtglb]

@@garyhorne2238 you’re not supposed to eat it.

[@pouponcrazycat5987]

Do you use carrageenan for the base.tgen put acrylic paint to do the marbeling

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Yes I added carrageenan to the water to thicken it up. This was cloth dye.

These are wonderful! Did you have to set color in a Dye-Set after they dry? Also, where do you find such large troughs?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you! My husband made the trough from some spare wood. I soaked the scarves in a dye set before dipping them. I've only done this a few times so still a lot of learning on y end on how to better protect these in the long run.

What is the liquid on the table…..the base?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thickened water.

[@mjjohnson3991]

Would the ink ruin in the washer or dryer?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

No the fabric is treated so that the dye sets and isn't supposed to run.

[@florafen1305]

Using Fabric Dye? Was the silk treated with a fixative? Is the silk scarf rinsed in a fixative?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Yes I treated the silk before using the dye.

[@southerndesigners7918]

Thanks for your video, What is carrageenan? Are there any chemicals in the shops?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I purchased mine online, I am not sure if you'd fine them in stores. Carrageenan is just powdered sea weed, it thickens the water once mixed in.

However, after seeing YOURS, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU TWO WERE EVEN BOTH DOING MARBLING ON SILK! Your Paint/Ink (I don't know which YOU'RE using) was SO much "lighter"~ It Allowed The Other Colors To "Hang Out RIGHT AROUND THEM" And SHARE The Space (whereas her paint JUST COVERED UP WHATEVER IT WENT ON TOP OF!)~ I Really Feel Like I Learned Something Here! I HOPE YOU LISTED THE PRODUCTS YOU USED~ IT MAKES IT SOOO MUCH EASIER TO BUY EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED... Until I KNOW What I NEED. SOOO, DID YOU MAKE YOUR WATER TROUGH, OR VESSEL OOOR PAAAN~ WHATEVER It's Called? HEEEY, MAYBE THE 🛁 WOULD WORK?!
