softcover Paper crafts Book ~ The Practical Guide to Marbling Paper ~ 88 pages,
by Anne Chambers with an introduction by Bernard C. Middleton. Line drawings by
Arthur Johnson. This is not a book about papermaking or creating handmade
papers. This is a book that introduces you to the techniques used to take plain
paper and create beautiful decorative marbled papers. From the back cover:
"The main part of the text deals with the technique of marbling paper in
the classic tradition, using ox-gall and water colors on a size of carragheen
moss. Beginners can learn their skills with easily improvised equipment and
readily available materials, and then progress to the more elaborate processes
involved in making papers by the same methods that were employed hundreds of
years ago. The principal antique patterns of marbled papers are reproduced in
color with Anne Chambers' step-by-step directions on how they were
created."
