diy: marbling paper

modern method described briefly: acrylic paint is dropped onto the surface of an aqueous solution of carrageenan (a polysaccharide extracted from seaweed) and manipulated to create a pattern. Next, paper coated with alum (the mordant) is laid onto the surface to transform the pattern. remember to set the paper on an angled board after and rinse with water
