Exceptional marbling and remarkably clear instruction make this creative resource ideal for professional and student marblers, crafters, and home decorators. The book`s all-encompassing scope examines the ancient art of marbling, then takes the mystery out of the art form by explaining just how those beautiful swirls of subtle color are created. Included are techniques for suminagashi, fabric marbling, and both watercolor and oil color marbling. A final section looks at imaginative contemporary applications of the craft.
