A delicate treasure! Do you like creative supply SURPRISES? You’ll receive over 100 square inches of perfect and not-so-perfect marbled paper pieces in a variety of colors, patterns, sizes and shapes. The pieces will vary from those shown in the photos, but are very similar in nature. 100 sq. in. is roughly the same area as a standard-sized sheet of copy paper.

The original marbled paper scrap pack offered on Etsy, these are trimmings and surplus from the products I make. I simply cannot bear to throw them away, and they quickly add up! Sometimes there is a flaw in a paper which I must cut around, or maybe I simply goofed and cut the bookmarks too long by an inch. You benefit by receiving a variety of paper patterns, both abstract and traditional.

• All non-toxic, natural and acid-free materials.

• Remember, your collection(s) will be a surprise and not any of the ones pictured.

• Paper-types are white Japanese Masa and Texoprint. Masa is lightweight, durable, flexible and strong. Texoprint is thin and even more durable with a slight latex content. Both respond well to adhesive.

• Dimensions and shapes vary—some strips are as narrow as ½ inch and/or as long as 8 inches. These will arrive folded. Always included are 1-2 largish rectangles, and often each has a flaw. (Intended to be note cards, but didn’t make the cut…)

Marbling is done by floating dye or paint on the surface of fluid in a tank, and lowering a sheet of paper or fabric from above, making a unique, one-of-a-kind contact print. Tools may also be used to arrange the color into patterns before the print is made. Only one print can be made from each painted design. Each piece is completely original, and there is no mass production, photography or digital treatment involved.

All of my marbled products are made here in the Marbling Supplies Studio, in Northern Michigan USA by me, Heidi Reichenbach FInley. A painter by nature and formal training, I enjoy the process of combining and manipulating color. With marbling, the colors, patterns, and working techniques are endless and never boring. Every marbling session is an adventure! I make marbled paper for the sheer pleasure and joy of creating beautiful things. I want others to enjoy my work for that same reason.
