Pebeo Marbling Bath Thickener. It is a special medium that helps the water become denser when transporting colors in the marbling technique.

The marbling technique was inspired by the ancient Japanese marbling technique on rice paper during the 11th century (Sumi nagashi) and by similar bookbinding techniques in Europe during the 19th century. In this process, colors are transferred by making contact with the object to be decorated. Marbling can be applied to various surfaces such as fabrics, paper, cardboard, recycled paper, wood, plaster, and more.

Instructions for Preparing the Basin and Marbling Technique:

• Prepare the basin with the thickener and water beforehand.
• Pour 2 teaspoons (7g) of Pebeo Marbling thickener into 1 liter of cold water.
• Mix very well and let the mixture stand for 2 hours.
• Pour 1 to 2 centimeters of the mixture into a plastic basin or tray that is larger than the object you want to decorate.
• Using the dropper, add a few drops of your chosen colors into the basin with the water. Ideally, use alternating light and dark colors.
• Allow the colors to spread slightly and create patterns with wood or a straw.
• Let your creativity flow to create designs, and remove the decorated object after it has been in the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds.
• Quickly rinse with water to remove excess mixture.
• Leave the decorated object on a flat surface to dry.
