		Paper marbling is a technique for producing colorful patterns on paper (or, rarely, on other surfaces) by swirls of paint, traditionally water-based paint, floating on water.
		Paper or cloth that has been coated with alum and allowed to dry is placed on the surface gently, which instantly absorbs the pattern.
		Marbled paper is still produced in large quantities in Venice.

		Traditional marbling uses carrageenan mixed with water for the size, real broomstraw to sprinkle the paint, ox gall for the surfactant, and oil base paint or gouache for the pigment.

	Hippie Marbling
		Technically speaking, Hippie Marbling is referred to as "one-off aqueous monoprinting," due to the unique patterns it produces, as opposed to the "classic" style of paper marbling most commonly seen on book ends in neatly combed identical patterns.
		The process of hippie marbling (shown below and in the 5 minute video on this page) is similar to bookbinding marbling in that paint is floated on water and a material (fabric vs. paper in this case) is then laid across the top of the water.
		Cove's hippie marbling culminated in the mid-1970's when he was commissioned to make large marbleized star maps for the first Star Trek conventions, and a 15' by 30' Fab that served as a background for a Grateful Dead and Jefferson Starship free rock concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

	The Secrets of Paper Marbling by Will Jackson \| Daniel Smith Art Supplies
		One reason for the current popularity of marbled motifs is the beautiful complexity of the colors and patterns-they cause one to ask "How do they do that?" What most people don't realize is how easy paper marbling actually is, and how quickly the basics, at least, can be learned.
		When marbling with acrylics, the paper must first be coated with mordant, an alum solution, to make the paint adhere to it.
		Take a marbling comb, insert it about 1/2" at the top of the pan, and, using one hand on either end of the comb, slowly draw it vertically down through the paint to the bottom of the pan.

	SUMINAGASHI
		It is believed to be the oldest form of marbling, originating in China over 2,000 years ago and practiced in Japan by Shinto priests as early as the 12th century.
		Japanese Sumi-e inks were originally used, dropped carefully to float on a still water surface and then blown across to form delicate swirls, after which the ink was picked up by laying a sheet of white rice paper atop the ink covered water.
		Suminagashi complements Japan's other great arts: Shodo (calligraphy), where a Sumi ink-dipped brush is used artistically to create Chinese kanji and Japanese kana characters, and Ikebana (flower arranging), where a single flower stem can be beautifully revealed in an artistic arrangement, all of which remain a traditional part of Japan's culture.
