Learning how to marbleize paper is an easy technique to learn but to do it very well does take some practice, IMO. This is my 2nd order of these Japanese paints used for marbling. I have tried to use oil & watercolors but wasn't satisfied w/the outcomes. I was able to make several prints using my own acrylic colors & the effects were OK for a 1st user. The colors in this kit mix well alone or together. Some of the fun in using this technique is you control the colors to be made, the colors can be vivid or soft colors it depends on your preference.This set comes w/instructions that are easy to follow & reference to during the marbleizing process. I will try to post a couple of images so anyone who cares can view them.
I've spent several hours "playing" w/this lovely marbleizing method. Some of my prints weren't too exciting & a few where nice enough to use in my collage art. It takes a little while to set-up all the materials needed for this process but soon you will be having so much fun creating marbled papers;it is all worthwhile. Also, your creations are unique one-of-a-kind prints & that to me is the other fun part of marbleizing.
Although, I am adult artist & have found this entire process both child & adult friendly--as noted above. There seems to be something magical occurring while working w/these colors & the marbling process. BTW, I use various types of lightweight Japanese papers b/c they are usually archival & strong enough to withstand multiple moves while trying to position them properly & in an area where they will make the most impact overall.
Thank you. Best wishing for a fun time for anyone who tries this process w/these wonderful colors.

I bought two of this kits when I visited Singapore in 1993! They were making demonstrations on a shopping mall. I have been stingy with my last set, trying to make it last longer, and now that I am running out my husband thought of looking it out in Amazon.
This watercolor marbling is a delight and you can get the most interesting designs. I ran out of the little paper dots early on, so I use an inverted spoon to slowly pour the ink over the water. You get the brightest colors on very absorbent paper: rice paper is classic, watercolor paper always works, but I also used newspaper paper successfully. I have marbled business cards and labels for jet printers. The worst paper to use is standard office paper, which is rather water repellent.

This a nice set for the money. Good colors. I would get the copper plated paper to use with this type of marbling as any other type of papers will not absorb and be as vibrant as you would hope for.

I bought this set and got it out last night to make some pretty marbled paper for some greeting cards. It works so easily and really well. The instructions are a little difficult but if you reread them you can figure it out, I think the writer's first language wasn't english, but the product is wonderful and works really nicely. I think it is great for all ages from about 5 up.

Despite the japanese-translated instructions, this is a successful project for four-and-ups. I've done it several times with large groups and it goes over very well.

My kids love making homemade cards with this kit. It's very easy to use --- my 8-year-old does it without help. She loves blowing the paints around to blend and swirl the colors. Perfect out-of-the-ordinary birthday gift for a 7-10 year-old girl.

I bought this to use with a small group of students, mostly so that I wouldn't have to bother with diluting tempera or other "DIY" techniques. They absolutely loved it, and the colors were decent. Now that I've done it once I'd probably not buy the kit again as there are lots of cheaper ways to get the same effect, but I was glad I had a kit to learn with.

My first try at suminagashi and I have learned a lot about using the ink with this set. Easy to use and goes a long way. Two drops of ink in a cup will give you enough to do several pictures. Too bad it is listed as a toy and more's the pity the instructions are so limited. If I had not already done a lot of reading, all online, about floating ink I would have been disappointed. A good buy all around.

Sorry it did not work
It was messy and did not work. The paint sank to the bottom of the container like other regular paints that so not claim to be specially mixed so they float.

ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY
Minus 5 stars for "Innovation Marbling Kit" which is pure junk. Insipid colors, impossible to control one's designs, clotted paints that will not produce strong tints. Read more

Harder Than It Looks
