I just paper-marbled yesterday with the traditional ebru-technique which uses Carrageean to make the water gooey so the colours actually float on it. Also, for all the techniques the colours would have sticked better if you pre-treated the paper with alum.
You know what would be cool? I kinda want you to try doing Batik on fabric! I feel like you can make some nice patterns! Also I thought you were on hiatus because youtube keep forgetting to recommend you to me. Nice to see that you're still being creative! ^^
You can also use ink and soap with water. The soap with water acts like "clear paint" and you make little dots inside of each other. It looks super cool
I’ve done this for the past 6 years with my 7 year old for every holiday. It’s great for homemade valentines cards, birthday cards, and everything else you can think of. My favorite method is to use shaving cream, liquid watercolor, and a squeegee to wipe it all off. The liquid water color is excellent because it doesn’t really get muddy and the paper won’t get soggy.
Nail polish dipping is super tempermental. It takes some patience, technique & multiple tries to get it right. Granted, it's not great with paper. Works best for 'hydro-dipping' ceramics like mugs, etc.
I'm going to school for Paper Engineering, and this is the kinda stuff we've been doing in lab. Thought it was funny you uploaded a video on it at the same time.
I love your trial and error process in the video. You're saving the rest of us the time of finding out those errors ourselves and for that your a damn champ. ♡
When I was a kid we’d drip different coloured inks onto water, gently move it around and then lay paper on top. We used the paper for all sorts of things 🙂
had to fulfill an art credit in college; the paper engineering program offered a course "art and early history of papermaking". i learned so damn much in that class; there was a lab portion of the course where we went crazy making paper: suspending fibers in okra mucilage, using macho-machines for paper-runs, marbling paper, etc etc etc. it was so cool! marbling "lab" was such a fun day and you've the spirit of that day!
I did this with oil paint once. You fill a pan with water, you mix oil paint with turpentine and then you just drop the paint on the water. Amazing effect
You could use a matte or gloss spray fixative on top of the spray paint one. It's meant for use on top of artwork made with pastel, charcoal etc so would work perfectly 😊
I really enjoyed the editing, all the background comments and sound effects with the movements of the camera 😚👌 also how mad you went with the sprinkles and shaving foam was just great
Coloured wax on card makes a cool marbling effect too, if you use an old iron and melt the wax on it then smush it on card (photo paper might be the best) it's super textured and cool looking
Shaving cream paper marbling is my fav 😜 I recommend investing in a cheap squeegee so you don't have to stain your hands and you can scrape the cream of cleanly 😙
also i have a suggestion for the suminigashi. what i've done is to use black ink and dish soap. ur gonna mix the soap with some water. and so u have two brushes, one for the ink and one for the soap. then u have ur pan of water, ur gonna dip the very tip of the brush into the ink and then dip it onto the water. do the same for the dish soap. when u do that, the soap will like disperse (?) the ink and the black is gonna spread out. it super satisfying. one u have ur desired pattern u just do the thing with the paper. i usually have another tub of water next to me and u just rise off the extra ink and soap in the other bucket and then set it out to dry instead of blotting it with a paper towel. i think u should try this next time!
For Japanese marbling it is necessary to previously soak and dry the sheets to work with a special product. there is also a thickener for the water that helps to work the marbling.
I absolutely love how you used almond milk, maybe you did or didn't think about it, but just because you didnt use real milk means that all the people that will try this will also use almond milk, which will just safe all these cows that would produce the milk from harm. Thank you for this.
@@HopelessJester lol no its not, not as bad as the meat and animal product industry. most of the rainforests that are chopped for farming is to feed the animals of the industry.
You should try color pens/markers on plastic and spraying with alcohol. The more alcohol the more toned down the color is. I used this technique when I was in high school and it is very easy to do.
Hey Shmoxd, what kind of paper thickness would you recommend using for this kinda thing? Super keen to try the shaving cream method and use the paper for black ink work after
FYI if you want to dilute nail polish you should use nail polish thinner instead of remover or acetone. Acetone actually breaks the acrylic bonds in the polish, thinner won't do that. That could be why it dried unusually quickly on top of the water.
The shaving cream one also works awesome with drawing ink or acrylic paint🎨 Oh there's also this cool stuff called Brusho...its like powdered paint? It would probably be great in the shaving foam🤔
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop Shmoxd (and other youtubers, too) has a video about it on his channel - it’s bare easy! Not a lot is needed as you use paper to make the paper; it’s more prep than anything.
You can actually use oil paint to marble...it always turns out great. Just mix the paint with some solvent to dilute and make it runny then add it to the water bath.
For some reason, I'm thinking about taking spritz bottles filled with food coloring, and spritzing that onto the shaving cream. I too have fixated on seeing the sprinkles work, and want to see a confetti cake styled piece of paper. Also, thinner paper for like, cool personalized wrapping paper... Oh, OH!! How about taking Sunday newspaper comics, crumpling/shredding them on top of blank paper, then spritzing that with rubbing alcohol/acetone...
I used to a lot of marbling with drawing ink and water back when I was in school. it was really fun edit: I did something similar to the nailpolish process but with ink
Here is how we did it in the bookbinding workshop I had an apprenticeship in, if you want to try: You start with a base of cellulose paste glue, or other wallpaper glue. It should sort of have the texture of thick water, so not too thick and goopy, but not thin and watery. It should still flow easilly if you tilt the pan. The paint is just acryllic paint, but thinned a lot with water. This should be very runny but well pigmented. I usually use jar lids for each of my colors, with a paint brush for each. And that's all you need. Use the paint brushes, dip them in the color and shake drops all over the pan with the paste. The drops should spread out. Do this with the colors you want until the drops no longer expand. Then use a scewer to drag the pattern you want. Place your paper on the surface, and when you remove it, drag it over the edge of the pan to remove as much paste as you can. You can then use a window scraper to gently remove even more. Let it dry. Clean off the excess paint in the pan with a piece of scrap paper.
I love how you are not self depreciating, no matter how it turns out you have something positive to say about it 🥺
@Professor Blubber Bullets Biology my thouguts exactly. Lol if I made a video and it got this kind of comment, I'd delete my channel lol
I just paper-marbled yesterday with the traditional ebru-technique which uses Carrageean to make the water gooey so the colours actually float on it. Also, for all the techniques the colours would have sticked better if you pre-treated the paper with alum.
You can check out ebru arts of Hikmet Barutcugil, Paul Juno and Mustafa Duzgunman if you haven't before. They're super cool and inspiring!
Ye I’ve been experimenting with traditional ebru, but with methyl cellulose instead of carrageenan, becos getting carrageenan where I live is $$$$
@@Gnomes_ Did you find out what kind of colours float best so far?
And its true, carrageenan is hella expensive. T.T
Lol literally as I was typing “so basically just hydro dipping paper” smoxd said the same thing XD
Marbling with nail polish: quick, call Simply Nailogical!
You're voice is literally my therapy, it somehow making me chill

@@scorpiusmalfoy8414 right? I think he'd be good at it!
Vodka creates an effect when using watercolor, maybe it works on marble-ing too!

It also doesn’t dry on the shaving cream
You've got one of the sickest intros ever
the shaving cream one... we use almost eeevery year with kids on summer camp and now we can also try the other ones❤️ thanks for inpo
Idk why but it just clicked that you’re like this generation’s threadbanger
For reallll... I watch both but damn 😢
Yes I miss the older type of vids they made. It changed but its understanding why
@@melimel9265 what happened?
this has nothing to do with your post, but our profile pics match.
@@raquelh1 they used to make diy videos that were strictly instruction
This video unlocked a memory of me doing this in school art class and now I can’t wait to try it again
Nail polish dipping is super tempermental. It takes some patience, technique & multiple tries to get it right. Granted, it's not great with paper. Works best for 'hydro-dipping' ceramics like mugs, etc.
It's great for my small business. I was looking fot ways. But it's funny you always somehow get sprinkles in almost every project
Hahah that’s funny and true
I'm going to school for Paper Engineering, and this is the kinda stuff we've been doing in lab. Thought it was funny you uploaded a video on it at the same time.
I’ve really been enjoying your inner voice in your past few vids! “There’s no way this is real.” 😂
I learnt to do this in school with printmaking ink... now only if I could remember
Nail polish one... Oh my god Cristine knows the struggle
Wiiiiiiiiiiiill it WATERMARBLE
I love your trial and error process in the video. You're saving the rest of us the time of finding out those errors ourselves and for that your a damn champ. ♡
I'm losing my marbles about this!!
I used shaving cream and dye on T shirts. Worked really well.
When I was a kid we’d drip different coloured inks onto water, gently move it around and then lay paper on top. We used the paper for all sorts of things 🙂

Your videos get me through this pandemic
Just here to say your channel is one of my faves. 😊
That sprinkle "sprinkle" was impeccable 👌🏼
I tried with the milk one, leave it to dry and now its smell horrible :(
I was just thinking this! Milk did not seem like something that would hold up...even almond milk...
Maybe a put modpodge overtop or glue to mask the smell
I love how you were trying your darndest to make the sprinkles work.
Shaving cream + liquid watercolors = beautifully marbled paper!!
Shaving cream, fluid acrylics including some metalics, and a smooth cardstock work really well.
3:15 You need to put borax in the water - a great resource would be hydro dipping tutorials = search for guitar dipping
I did this with oil paint once. You fill a pan with water, you mix oil paint with turpentine and then you just drop the paint on the water. Amazing effect
It is a new era of posting awesome vids regularly I AM HERE FOR IT
Thank you for sharing your experience❤️
I saw the thumbnail and thought you were baking for the week. I have to say I was excited
You could use a matte or gloss spray fixative on top of the spray paint one. It's meant for use on top of artwork made with pastel, charcoal etc so would work perfectly 😊
I love how straightforward you are with your content. 💚✨🙌🏼
I love how you try so many different things! it makes your videos really interesting to watch!!
This channel literally deserves so much more attention. The production of ur vids is 💯
I really enjoyed the editing, all the background comments and sound effects with the movements of the camera 😚👌
also how mad you went with the sprinkles and shaving foam was just great
That shaving cream looks tasty especially with the sprinkles
Nonpariel sprinkles would definitely work for this since they aren't coated like the sundae sprinkles!
Coloured wax on card makes a cool marbling effect too, if you use an old iron and melt the wax on it then smush it on card (photo paper might be the best) it's super textured and cool looking
thanks for teaching me how to do something i’ve never even thought of
The intro hits you every time :)
this was so cool to see all of the different effects. I've done the shaving cream one before, and I was really happy with how it ended up
awe! i started watching you from that paper making video, this feels like a comeback
Honestly that video was in the back of my head the whole time too
Ooh, I need to try the shaving cream type with my kids! It'd be easy to do for them and would be a fun art project
I've don't the shaving cream on before as a kid, I love it ❤️
Shaving cream paper marbling is my fav 😜 I recommend investing in a cheap squeegee so you don't have to stain your hands and you can scrape the cream of cleanly 😙
i love ur sound effects like with the shaving cream and stuff

How n the world hav I never seen this channel. Tfs. I subbed n now gotta binge watch
ayyyy your back i love your videos brother, you inspire me a lot love from india brudda💝💝✌and please keep posting videos.
This is so cool! I can’t wait to try incorporating that shaving cream technique into my art, it could definitely make for some super cool effects!
I thought that if you wanted to give the sprinkles effect on the paper, maybe use confetti!! Confetti and use the acetone. That might work.
Loved the video as always. Reminds me of simpler time in middle school where I did this on my agenda☺️☺️
I like the way you create things
your videos make me so happy
I've just been thinking of trying marbling so this was really helpful!! Thanks!
For Japanese marbling it is necessary to previously soak and dry the sheets to work with a special product. there is also a thickener for the water that helps to work the marbling.
The thought of dipping my bare hands into spray paint kills me omg no
First time on your channel such a fascinating video. I love your intro, so creative and unique! big shmood 😄
I absolutely love how you used almond milk, maybe you did or didn't think about it, but just because you didnt use real milk means that all the people that will try this will also use almond milk, which will just safe all these cows that would produce the milk from harm. Thank you for this.
Almond farming is also incredibly bad for the invironment...
@@HopelessJester lol no its not, not as bad as the meat and animal product industry. most of the rainforests that are chopped for farming is to feed the animals of the industry.
I liked that shaving cream and shuminagashi too.
You should try color pens/markers on plastic and spraying with alcohol. The more alcohol the more toned down the color is. I used this technique when I was in high school and it is very easy to do.
Another video! Keep up the great great beautiful inspirational work, thanks Smoxd :-)
These would look really cool in a book
I would honestly have to fight the urge not to eat or put my face in the shaving cream, like I know it would taste horrendous but it's just so fluffy
Hey Shmoxd, what kind of paper thickness would you recommend using for this kinda thing? Super keen to try the shaving cream method and use the paper for black ink work after
300 gr
this video feels like a sunny day
I wonder how different the japanese paints are compared to "ebru"
FYI if you want to dilute nail polish you should use nail polish thinner instead of remover or acetone. Acetone actually breaks the acrylic bonds in the polish, thinner won't do that. That could be why it dried unusually quickly on top of the water.
For the nail polish one try using warmer/hot water, it makes it dry a bit slower
also an asmr video of this would be so cool omg
The shaving cream one also works awesome with drawing ink or acrylic paint🎨
Oh there's also this cool stuff called Brusho...its like powdered paint? It would probably be great in the shaving foam🤔
Very Nice seasoning on the paper
With the water based ones, try using a wax pencil (or candle) to draw a design and then dip them
Did some with oil paint and a lot of turpentine, works wonders and actually looks marbled
I was so high I thought this was a video about baking 😓 but I think this video is even more useful, thanks 😂💖
Uhhh! Yes, please :)
This is what I need to add to my paper making repertoire
You MAKE paper!? That's so cool! What materials do you use? I'm so intrigued!
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop Shmoxd (and other youtubers, too) has a video about it on his channel - it’s bare easy! Not a lot is needed as you use paper to make the paper; it’s more prep than anything.

Just mix the paint with some solvent to dilute and make it runny then add it to the water bath.
i love these videos so much
THAT INTRO WAS SO DOPE
At art school I learned that you can use water with grenetine (boiled water, be careful) and add oil paint mixed with turpentine for the colors
huge eric carle vibes, i love this
I was eating toast while u dipped the toast and it put me off a bit
I used to do it with Testor's model paint, I think maybe a bit diluted with paint thinner to make it more liquidy.
this paper would be dope to screenprint on
the little round ball rainbow sprinkles WILL dissolve into the shaving cream!
For some reason, I'm thinking about taking spritz bottles filled with food coloring, and spritzing that onto the shaving cream. I too have fixated on seeing the sprinkles work, and want to see a confetti cake styled piece of paper.
Also, thinner paper for like, cool personalized wrapping paper...
Oh, OH!! How about taking Sunday newspaper comics, crumpling/shredding them on top of blank paper, then spritzing that with rubbing alcohol/acetone...
You can mix dish soap, water and food coloring and make bubbles with a straw. Then place the paper on top
You’re so creative

Having a supportive partner is one of the most wonderful things... Enjoy it, and do the same for her! 😁
I wish you'd shown us all of the finished products side by side at the end of the vid
I usually use shaving cream and ecoline. Verry fun
