Turkish Paper Marbling Session

Turkish marbling can be pretty fickle - there's been many times I've set up my camera to take video of the process but something 'catastophic' would go wrong (ex. too much gall in my paints, paper not laying right, colors sliding off). From what I've heard, the weather can even affect your marbling session. So what might have worked fine one day will give you trouble the next time.

Anyway, last night I was able to get some good footage of the process though I was initially having some issues with color braking up (ok, ok, the reason was because I had literally made the carrageenan an hour before and couldn't wait to get started).

Here's a time lapse video of my marbling session:
