Carrageenan ClearanceTraditional marbling techniques require a gel like surface that suspends pigments without absorbing them, exactly what this natural seaweed extract creates. Carrageenan forms a viscous bath that allows paints to float and spread properly, whether you're working on fabric or paper. The molecular structure provides enough body to hold intricate patterns while remaining thin enough for clean transfers. Mixing requires attention to proportions: blend one
keeping surfaces pristine through repeated handling
no streaking when you rewet dried paint
mixed media pieces
these colors maintain their intensity without muddying or separating on the page
rich pale gold
