As I mentioned in my previous blog post, here are some pictures of the results of my hand paper marbling showing some of the patterns I came up with, and also a small white pad which I marbled on the edges only. It was all good fun and each sheet I made was a surprise once it was printed. Some of the patterns have names, such as Feathered, Dutch, Chevron and Peacock patterns.
The marbling process is very rewarding, though is can be exasperating as it is an organic process and various things can hamper the outcomes. You also need some equipment, and to get lovely patterns you would need some combs which are drawn through the 'size' to create the variety of prints.
