(200) My First Ebru Marbling Silk Scarves!

[@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!

[@pruedanon2248]

I love your spaces in between, not many artist do that. Simple and stunning. Nice😊

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thanks 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!

Congratulations .. I love this I have watch a few videos on it. you make it look so easy.

[@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.

[@gloriveerosa6356]

Amazing Amanda. Nice work⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

[@garyhorne2238]

Is it just water and alcohol inks. Amazing. How do you filter the previous ink to do another one. Thanks

It is water treated with carrageenan and silk dyes for the colors.

Thank you! I think you can also use cotton but you'd have to do some research on what dyes will work for each fabric. Not sure if they can be universally used.

[@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!!

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.

[@doninis1354]

I would love to give it a try, but how did you do the tub? Did you thicken your whater with carragenan? What colors do you use for Silk?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

My husband made the tub and yes used carrageenan for thickening the water.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@myartchannel244]

Hello Are you use only water ? Where can I buy the frame ? You did beautiful colors .

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

The water is thickened with carrageenan. My husband made the frame out of some scrap wood we had.

[@michellegazdik8001]

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.

[@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.

[@lizzypolishan9915]

This is so beautiful! I love it! What kind of dye are you using?

[@chiarettamathe7071]

Beautiful ! How do you dry the scarf without it running? Do you stem the colours ?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Stem the colors? I am not familiar with that term. The ink sets pretty quickly so it doesn't run. At least I didn't have an issue with it running.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

@@amandasdesignsofficial Steam…

[@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.

[@HighlandCountySeniorCitizens]

How many times can you use the same water? Thanks

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I used mine a few times. I don't know how many you could use it for before the water become muddy from all of the dye.

[@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.

[@FairyKat1759]

WOOOW~ FREEEAKING FABULOUSLY GORGEOUS... ALL OF THEM!! Right before I watched THIS, I watched another woman's video, and she claimed to be (also) doing This Technique... 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!

[@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.

[@carrieeasley3995]

I just saw a video on Facebook about this.

[@jenniferlambert3886]

I like the cell designs without the marbling effect, personally.

[@KissesOnMySkin1001]

That's what's so great about this technique, you can make a scarf with just the cell designs if that's what you like. Just remove the step where you run the thing through the ink to marble it, and lay the silk.

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. 👍
