Paper marbling
Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
Marbling is sometimes called by its original Turkish name, Ebrû.
Short Description about Marbling Process:
Viscous solution is to prepare the pattern and to bond the colors to the paper. The thick liquid, is made by blending a type of gelatin, called by Turkis name, Kitre should be prepared with water before a day before working.
Several colors of ink or paint are sprinkled onto the surface of the viscous solution. They float on the surface because they are lighter than the thickened water.
Wooden sticks should be used to stir the floating colors if desired. Various combs and rakes may also be run through the colors to make more intricate patterns.
A sheet of the paper is gently laid onto the surface of the vizcous solution, and it absorbs the floating colors. Only one print can be made. The paper is lifted off, rinsed, and hung up to dry.
Tools and containers should be cleaned after using.
