Personally, I was passionately "Ignited" when I saw Marbled Art at an art festival in Portland, Oregon thirty five years ago.  I took one class and was so amazed by its possibilities of expression.  At the time, I could not devote myself to the craft since I was going to Graduate school and then I started teaching Gifted students in public school full time.  Teaching consumed all my attention and time. The librarian at my school provided an enrichment activity for students in the accelerated reading program utilizing "model car" paints to float on the surface of the water.  The students were thrilled by the way their colors could be manipulated to produce designs. An effect was produced but did not portray the potential possibilities of what can be achieved by using carrageenan thicked water and treated paper or fabric. After I retired and moved to Washington state, I found a workshop that taught fabric marbling.  I was hooked and have been "playing" with its expression for 5 years now.  I enjoy utilizing the traditional techniques of marbling that have been a hidden secrete for hundreds of years and that can be seen on the end papers of old books.  I like to be creative with the images that shift and change like clouds in the sky.  The marbling painting is done on the surface of carrageenan water and then picked up on paper or fabric.  Images pop up that resemble animals, whales, birds, and fish.  Profiles of people pop into view amidst landscapes and seas.  We are all water creatures on this water planet just as clouds in the sky so familiar images pop into being.
