Blue Marbled postcard

Blue Marbled postcard: this beautiful colorful design is an example of vintage marbled paper reimagined and revitalized. Blue and white colors splash across the lovely design in random shades and sizes like water and sea foam. Paper marbling is an ancient 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. Through several centuries, people have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype that is extremely pleasing to the eye.
