[@sarababy29]

Taupe is a grayish brown and it goes real nice with teal.

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

I'll have to mix a taupe! Thank you.

Good morning 🙏 😊

[@sarababy29]

What do you use for a sealer after you color your ornaments and wine glasses ? 😊

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching. I use a spray sealer. On the glasses, I'm careful to tape off the upper part so the sealer only goes on the painted area.

[@angiefloyd2754]

New to try this. Could you use the ready to pour paints ? Also are you just taking acrylic paints & adding bottled water to thin then dripping into the water to make the spots to which you spin & dip an ornament or wine glass into? Trying to grasp the whole concept. Would love to try these options you do & maybe some vases? Thanks for any & all info & tips. Love how these look & turned out!

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching. Pouring paints would not work directly from the bottle. I'm not sure they would work even if they were thinned. I've never tried them. Each type of paint and color has to be prepared individually, as the formulas for each brand and each color within a brand are different. I do offer a basic booklet on water marbling. It can be found here: aqueoussilkllc.etsy.com/listing/981954510

How are your paints mixed for this technique? How is your solution mixed and where do you buy the items? Also, how are your items prepared for marbling?

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

I offer a basic book about water marbling and a marbling kit that has all the supplies you need to learn water marbling. All available at www.etsy.com/shop/AqueousSilkLLC

[@RealMonkey7]

What do you use is that acrylic paint??

[@jenniferhudson9484]

Is the technique, to prep the bulbs different for glass vs shatterproof. Also, how do you prep your wine glasses/ vases before marbling?

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching. I prep every item with Alum before marbling.

Could you show what you dry your wine glasses on? I’m new and want to learn this technique. I’ve done paint pouring on ornaments and had good luck with them. Thank you

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching! I use a floral frog to set my glassware on to dry. If you google "floral frog" it will give you images.

[@carolcarver9896]

Please can you tell me how much seaweed powder to add you my water

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

@@carolcarver9896 2 tablespoons & 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water is what I use. It can be a bit more or less, depending upon your weather conditions.

[@angiefloyd2754]

Also, do you have to use newspaper between color combos or can you use magazine pages or just paper towels ?

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

You can use magazine pages if they are not glossy. Whatever you use, it must absorb the paint left on the surface. I don't use paper towels very often because it absorbs a lot more of the water. Seaweed powder is quite expensive and I want the water to last as long as possible.

[@jenniferhudson9484]

Could you use a stick inserted inside the ornament to make it easier to dip and then stick it in styrofoam to dry? I used something like poster putty to make it easy to hold ornaments on the stick.

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

I do use a stick usually. Sometimes I don't have the correct sized stopper to keep the ornament on the stick. :)

[@mercedescancino3595]

Hi I am new I like your work and I want to know what paint you use , acrylic? What’s is alum you need it any time? Thank you.

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching! I use many brands of acrylic paints. Alum is what I use to prep each item for marbling. It helps the paint adhere crisply to the item being marbled.

Thank you for watching. I have not had success, but others have. My favorite is mulberry paper or a heavy rice paper.

New to this. Do uou thin or eater foen your psint and fo you rver use indian ink? Thank you

[@aqueoussilkllc9654]

Thank you for watching. I sometimes thin the paint, other times I do not - depends on the paint. I also have used acrylic ink in the past.

[@kimberlymorgan331]

How do you prepare the ornaments? Soak them in alum? Wash with alcohol?

I clean them with alcohol, let them dry thoroughly, then spray them with alum.
