Although marbling is not part of my usual art practice, it was great fun and very relaxing. A bit like gelatine monoprinting but more freeform and delicate. I did lots of prints on paper as well as marbling 3D objects like fans, pots, and rocks.
I also managed to marble lots of japanese papers like kozo and book pages - these lighter weight papers will be perfect to use for chine colle with my drypoints.

| Bronwyn showing me how to marble a fan - harder than it looks! |
 |
| Lightly pressing the fan onto the marbled surface. |
 |
| The completed fan - I'm all sorted for summer now! |
 |
| We marbled leaves as well - gorgeous! |
 |
| Using a pipette to drop the colour. I love the circular organic shapes at this stage. |
 |
| Using a wooden skewer to create a design. This is the really fun bit! |
 |
| I love big swirls and drops, rather than fine designs. |
 |
| Lifting the marbled paper out of the tray - so exciting (and wet)! |
 |
| One of my favourites - marbled paper from a Japanese book |
 |
| Another bold design that I love! |
