After a long hiatus, I’ve had a chance to do some marbling. The driving force was actually the necessity to test a new sample of carragheenan. We’re currently out of stock, and as usual, the last source we bought from…

I’ve added a post to our Products section giving some details on the starter Papermaking Kits we sell. There are photos of the kit contents, as well as a rundown on other readily-available things you would have to supply beyond…
