I tried Marbling thinking it looked easy- but it is deceptively hard! So many little things you don't even consider happens lol. Watching your videos definitely helped with some of it. Especially , what to do with the goop on the paper when you first take it off- that angle board solution is genius haha. I thought I needed to buy a table like that lol. The newspaper to gather up the excess ink too - I had problems with the paint falling into my pan, muddying it up so much.Thanks for your wealth of knowledge!
It only looks easy when it's working right!😅 Through much trial and error I've developed a few tricks, so I'm glad they've been of some use. Thanks for watching!
@@FourKeysBookArts can I please ask what type/brand of paper you use to marble on? I know paper quality makes a big difference. Also, do you prepare the paper first with alum? I’m a paper-maker who started dabbling in marbling last year and have had mixed results. I’d love to make some lovely marbled paper like yours, for my journals.
I love water marbling. I’ve done it on so many different things such as paper, vehicle parts, glass, a pair of spike heels, and even on my nails. But, I really like how it turned out on the paper in this project. The color choices are stunning!
Oh my, I got that excited feeling in my stomach as I watched this video. All your videos are so well done, I love the pace you work at and the feeling that goes into the work. Inspiring!
It was so nice. Today in Turkey, the art is commonly known as ebru. This technique originates from China. It was used a lot in Islamic countries for decoration in binding and calligraphy.
This is the best marbling video I've seen ! I came here to try to understand How Karli Frigge was making here tiger's eyes ! Thank you so much Four Keys Book Arts!
Very cool. To me they look like schools of sardines. Art is interpreted by the eye of the beholder. I'd like to see more videos like this. I keep rewatching your videos because there's not so many but everyone of them is quality
I've only just managed to get round to watching this Dennis - it's another work of art on so many levels. I loved the tricks you developed and shared with us - absorbing the excess paint from along the edges, the angled boards to drain excess liquid, I've never seen those in any other marbling video I've watched. The end result though is indescribably beautiful. I can well believe that it is considered alchemy! I hope you'll favour us with some more marbling in the future - it really is a wonderfully relaxing thing to watch (especially with your relaxed unhurried style).
Beautiful work indeed, i would love to watch a full tutorial about paper marbling on yout channel, one day! By the way, you definitely have an eye for photography too, your videos are well composed and filmed, is not always a given!
That is such a beautiful design, I can't take my eyes of off it - I can almost feel them bulging out of their sockets in an attempt to absorb the pattern and make it one with the eye, and my brain. I've been a lover of books since before I can remember, and with the development of the Internet making information freely available, I've finally been able to get in to something I've wanted to do for a very, very long time: book binding. So far I've mainly done miniature raised cord leather bindings (the largest book measuring 95 mm * 65 mm (roughly 3.74 in * 2.55 in) - the smallest 13 mm * 9 mm (roughly 0.5 in * 0.35 in) ). All fully functional, with headbands in 2 or more colors, and made using the exact same method as any full sized raised cord leather bound book. With one, annoying, exception: the endpapers. Of course they _do have_ endpapers, but so far I've been using ready made papers of various sorts. And you know what? I don't like it. I never liked it. Partly because it feels as if I'm cheating. And partly because it's hard to get hold of authentic looking papers of suitable thickness and pattern scale. All together I guess you could say that in the end, it feels very much the same way as it would to make - say - a silver prong ring and top it off using a plastic bead from the toy store instead of a cut semi-precious or precious stone. I'm abasing the book - demeaning it. A book is something beautiful, and deserving of respect, and care, and love. And that's why I'm here - watching this video. Now, I don't suffer from delusion of grandeur. Nor do I have a severe case of hubris - not even a case of regular hubris for that matter. So while I'm fully aware I won't - likely ever - be able to create anything even close to the aesthetical wonder being created here, I did acquired the necessary basic materials some months ago. I've just been feeling too uncertain, and too unsure (of my self) to get down to business, and instead - since bookbinding's only part of what I do - indulged in other creative matters. That ends now. Today. The leather's been dyed, the pages' been written, illustrated and assembled, the signatures' been punched and sewn and the head band colors' been selected. It is time. The creative juices are soaking my brain. I've been inspired. You have inspired me. Inspired me to dare to try. Thank You! Stay Safe, and Stay Sane Cheers!
Amazing!!! Do you use a mixture of Potassium Aluminium Sulfate and Potassium Carbonate or any other substance? Will you have a measure or formula? Thank you for any tip you can give me. Greetings from Mexico
Stunning as always! Do you add something to the drops that make the 'eyes'? A drop of soap or other substance, maybe alcohol? The effect is impressive!
Wauw ..clearly a man of many trades paper marbling...book binding..tools making...leather works... May i ask what kind of paint you use for this marbling??
Not only is the marbling beautiful, but this video was so exquisitely shot!!!❤
There is something so meditative about this process and it’s so satisfying to see the flat papers come out of the press.
I could watch that for hours. I would love to see more marbling please!
this is a cinematic masterpiece

Superb camera work plus excellent marbling add up to a beautiful result.
I've never wanted more to switch professions and become a paper marbler! ❤
I love water marbling. I’ve done it on so many different things such as paper, vehicle parts, glass, a pair of spike heels, and even on my nails. But, I really like how it turned out on the paper in this project. The color choices are stunning!
Wow, absolutely adore the tiger eyes. The volcanic effect as they form is mesmerising. Wish I understood the chemistry.
Oh my, I got that excited feeling in my stomach as I watched this video. All your videos are so well done, I love the pace you work at and the feeling that goes into the work. Inspiring!
Thank you so much! So happy to know my work can give such positive feelings!
Watching the eyes form is mesmerizing.
And hypnotizing~
I love it! It would be a beautiful addition to a book of William Blake poetry!
It was so nice. Today in Turkey, the art is commonly known as ebru. This technique originates from China. It was used a lot in Islamic countries for decoration in binding and calligraphy.
WOW! That is a gorgeous result!
For the love of all that’s dear, oh my gosh that is stunning. Thank you for sharing that.

Wow, thank you!
Did you manage to buy her book?

That's a very good looking design, it could be done in different colors and probably look good every time. "Look at them eyeballs"
WOW!!! Definitely need more marbling videos. This was AMAZING!
Stunningly beautiful. It is a true pleasure to watch this process. Thank you for sharing your art.😊😊😊😊

The care and quality is extraordinary
Today I find this treasury channel and I love it. I hope you can share other series of marbling paper. Thanks a lot
Absolutely incredible. All of your content. Masterful
Amazing!!!
Do you use a mixture of Potassium Aluminium Sulfate and Potassium Carbonate or any other substance? Will you have a measure or formula? Thank you for any tip you can give me.
Greetings from Mexico
Your question from a whole year ago .......spend no time to wait. It is carbonate. Succes
Wonderful marbling!
The paper is beautiful. Would you ever consider doing a basic tutorial on marbling?
beautiful unique pattern. I would love to use this in my collage work.
This is so beautiful!
Thank you!
This is beautiful! Thanks you. ... I also loved the "easter egg" headline at about 4:13
Wow! That's incredible, i love what you do. Tank's a lot for this and all the lovely Videos.
Beautiful design❤
How wonderful an art this is!

Qué maravilla!!! Qué belleza!!! Que idílico...espectacular!!!
Truly beautiful and incredible to watch, I'd hope for something a bit more instructional though.
Muy agradecida por tu trabajo. ❤️🇪🇨
Those are gorgeous!
Wondefull creations. And so evenly.
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible 😮
Wow!!!! 🤩 Real magic exists!!!😲
It's true!🧙♂️
Beautiful - thank you for sharing your talents and techniques.
Good amazing art ❤️ i have never seen it before 😍 nice to see 🤗
Thank you so much 😀
With the decline of newspapers, this going to become much more expensive to produce-really beautiful and mesmeric
Unprinted newsprint paper is cheap and easy to find. It’s sold in big bundles as packing material, for instance.
Depends on where you are. In Sweden everything is expensive and hard to get by.
Very relaxing to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love, love, beautifoul ! 💚✨🍀
Amazing. I loved watching this video so much.
I enjoyed this so much, watching your technique and process. & What a beautiful print in the end! Thank you for sharing! 🤗
Do you use Alum on your paper first and how long do you allow the Ebru to drip from the page? You do really lovely work.
That's... the result is amazing!
absolutely fantastic.
Hermosos gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y tú tiempo.
These are beautiful papers! Can I please ask what sort of paper you use for marbling onto?
Perfect for a Lovecraft restoration!!
Lovely!
Amazing! Gives me a Lovecraft feel
Stunning as always! Do you add something to the drops that make the 'eyes'? A drop of soap or other substance, maybe alcohol? The effect is impressive!
Glorious!
More videos like this please!
Love this, my favorite. Does it make a difference if you don't rinse the size off?
The Medieval book was spectacular but to find out you do your own Ebru also? Remarkable! Love it! Hugz, Tree
Wow 👌 This is so beautiful. Looks so fun to create 😊
such beautiful work! could I use the same water and technique for a silk scrf?
Pure art.... Awesome.
Thank you so much 😀
Very beautiful patterns !
I’m glad you like them!
It is so magical. Thanks for sharing.
Wauw
..clearly a man of many trades paper marbling...book binding..tools making...leather works...
May i ask what kind of paint you use for this marbling??
It's acrylic paint.
wow beautiful paper!!! amazing it really is
Thanks!
Mesmerising
This is gorgeous, amazing pattern
Beautyful! 😊
Beautiful!
Amazing work! A black, red and orange version would be great for binding Lord of the Rings!
Wow- that’s beautiful
I love this so much! 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Thank you for the video! Will this paper be waxed?
It's not required, but I would wax and burnish it if I were to cover a book with it. Thanks for watching!
Do you add something to the dye to give it the cool effect as it makes the "eyes"?
