How to make up carrageenan.

My recipe/technique for making up carrageenan. I make my 'size' up a bit thicker and water down the next morning to my required consistency . I buy my carrageenan from the lovely Lynne at www.dyeman.com/

@angelaforder7589 reach out to jacquard or Dharma Trading

[@JoyceRockwood]

Would you mind adding to your description, the reason why or what you use the carrageenan for? As a brand newcomer to marbling, this is not at all clear. 😂🙃🤓 Thank you for your most awesome video!

Carrageenan thickens the water allowing the paint to float

Hi, do you need the carrageenan when dipping a plastic satin finish christmas bulb?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Always

[@donnygrice]

Thank you❤

[@fortstuartOG]

Very nice video! How do you dispose of the used up contents, when it goes bad?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Carrageenan is seaweed so it fertilisers the garden

[@LeslieSengstock]

Where do I buy the carrageenan

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

In your country search for carrageenan used in paper marbling, art shops sometimes have it

[@watkins-vb1kp]

Who would you recommend or what brand would you recommend now since I went to the website for Lynne and it shows that the business is up for sale?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Yes it's up for sale but she's still selling and has loads of carrageenan. Just give her a ring.

[@watkins-vb1kp]

@@raynbowcrowstudios2165 thank you so much! My husband wants this to be something we do together, thanks again

[@judyrand1688]

Can you use acrylic paint with this solution?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Most marblers use watered down acrylics floated on the carrageenan.

[@askamarzec5228]

Hi, could you tell in grams how much carrageenan did you use?please

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Every country has slightly different sources of carrageenan and different water, which effects the end result, so I recommend that people around the world research paper marbling courses near them or reach out to major art suppliers for recommendations.

[@i2iFX_Colleen]

Wondering, is Carrageenan similar to Xanthan Gum? Do you think it would work? Is it worth experimenting? Great video, Thanks heaps, I am brand new to this after seeing one of your reels on FB. I live way out west of you

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

No idea about the xanthan sorry ❤. There's tonnes of info under paper marbling 👌

[@mywifetheartist]

I have never done marbling but very interested. Is this carrageenan is what is in your water pan? What does this do?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Yes it thickens the water allowing the paint flow on top. Learn more by visiting the Jacquard Products website.

[@Syzygyzzz]

How do you dispose of the left over liquid?❤

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

After days of using it I toss it on the garden as it's seaweed and water

[@Syzygyzzz]

@@raynbowcrowstudios2165 thats cool.

[@lizbethfurci6945]

Hi Bronny, do you mix your carageenan the same for everything you marble? Thanks so much!

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Sure do and sometimes have to very gradually water down for paint to float and spread successfully especially in winter when everything is tight 😆. Everything tends to flow better in hot and humid months. But add extra water sparingly as you can easily over water down.

[@lizbethfurci6945]

Thanks so much! My first attempt did not work. I am trying again this morning. Prepared carrageenan last night. I want to do bottles and put lights in them. You are such an inspiration to me! Wish I was able to take a class.❤

[@krini2008]

Is your carrageenan Lambda?

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

I would say yes

[@dawnsullivan6233]

What is carrageenan

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

it thickens the water so the paints will float. Research carrageenan used in paper marbling :)

[@annettereynolds5333]

Deaf. Can you add the recipe and instructions in words so they can be screen shot please? Thank you

[@raynbowcrowstudios2165]

Unfortunately every country has a different supply of carrageenan which will need different amounts of water added etc. I recommend that people do their own research for the carrageenan in their own countries, look for paper marbling courses and art suppliers

[@joannedavis5214]

You can find the instructions on here by following the transcript. Hope that helps
