“We have reached the end of the course! Now you have all the technical and creative bases to make marbling a self-expression and create unique and unrepeatable surfaces. Remember that experimentation is the most important part, the more you practice this technique you can consider new tools, materials and surfaces. For example, you can make small boxes with different textiles and mix it with quilting . You can mix any of the traditional patterns we saw in this course or you can invent others with custom brushes or shotguns. You can also try different color harmonies, that is, you can try marbling with monochromes, triads or metallic colors, etc., be inspired by photographs, paintings or objects. And check all the references that I shared, especially the compilation of patterns. I will be very happy to accompany you throughout the course and share all your doubts, tests and results. Tell me how local materials (particularly carrageenan) work for you if you love them and if not, we will find how to solve it. Remember that there is a forum created especially for this purpose. As you could see throughout the course the possibilities are unlimited, do not forget to realize the full potential of textile marbling. See you on the forum! ”
