Marblingsupplies -- Genuinely handmade. Genuinely artistic! Mixing the traditional craft of marbling with vibrant, modern color to make decorative paper for all sorts of creative uses.

The Marbling Supplies Studio (and Heidi and David) moved in 2018 from Michigan's Upper Peninsula 90 miles south to Petoskey. I consider Petoskey to be the Art Mecca of Northern Michigan, so I'm very pleased about this.

Thinking about learning how to marble? I recommend The Serious Beginner's Marbling Kit to teach you the process and get you off to a solid and successful start:

Anyone Can Learn to Make Marbled Paper and Silk

In the summer of 2007, Heidi Reichenbach Finley and her daughter Anna stumbled upon the marbling process at an art fair in Fort Wayne, IN. Heidi began researching and was soon addicted to the swirling, intricate patterns produced and printed, one at a time, on paper.

The shop opened in 2010 under the name MarbledGoods. It allowed the offering of hand-marbled gift items to a much greater audience than could be gleaned through bricks-and-morter gift shops in small-town Indiana.

Meanwhile, beautiful, vibrant, one-of-a-kind marbled papers piled up in Heidi's home studio. These became available through Etsy.com to collage artists, book and jewelry makers, and illustrators all over the world looking for unique and interesting hand-decorated papers.

After more research and continued hours of experimentation and a family move to beautiful Northern Michigan, Heidi began offering marbling supplies and the very popular "Serious Beginner's Marbling Kit With Complete Instructions" in August of 2013. In 2015 MarbledGoods became MarblingSupplies. Sales have been made to people around the world in 36 countries and counting.

Heidi teaches marbling classes and workshops in Sault Ste. Marie, Petoskey, Traverse City, on Mackinac Island, Frankfort, Charlevoix, Cedarville, and Ann Arbor Michigan plus Angola, Indiana and Ontario, CA.

Shipping
All Buyers:

***I will be away from the studio and unable to ship any orders between March 18th and April 5th. Please order with this in mind, as any ship date you receive from Etsy upon ordering could thus be incorrect. Shipments will resume when I return, in the order in which they were received***

I use the United States Postal Service (USPS) for domestic and international orders. We have not yet lost a package.

Orders consisting of more than small scrap packs or book marks are packed gently and firmly in cardboard to resist damage, and shipped as soon as possible after your payment is received, usually within 3 days or one to two weeks for kit and paint orders. Marbled papers are never folded unless you ask me to fold them for the purpose of saving on shipping costs. You will be notified via Etsy Convo as soon as the order ships, and if there is more than one package to expect (Some items need very different packing arrangements and don’t “play well” with others).

No order is insured beyond reasonable and customary U.S. Postal procedures unless you ask for special arrangements when placing your order. All orders except small scrap collections are track-able. You will receive a tracking number when the order ships.

Please know that I recycle shipping materials to save natural resources and money. Your shipment may not look crisp and brand new on the outside--I sometimes re-use or build boxes of my own. Rest assured your items will be well protected from the perils of shipping. On the inside I re-use a variety of bubble wrap, paper, air-filled-plastic-thingies, and even other assorted maps, newspaper and occasionally even old sketches as filler. :) I'm resourceful and creative to the bone, I'm afraid.

I will happily ship straight to your gift recipient as well as include a personal note as requested.

U.S. Buyers:

All domestic (U.S.) orders weighing under 15 oz. are shipped via USPS First Class Mail. Packages weighing 15 oz. and over are shipped via USPS Priority mail with the exception of marbling kits, which are shipped via Parcel Select to make shipping more affordable. Upgrades (faster shipping times) may be available on request BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. Contact me please. Please remember that shipping around any holiday can be very unpredictable, and a request for an upgrade is recommended.

While packages generally arrive MUCH sooner, I allow the post office 2 weeks for Domestic delivery before becoming concerned.

International Buyers:

MarblingSupplies uses First Class Mail International, via the United States Postal Service (USPS).

***Customs fees, tariffs, or any other associated delivery fees, expected or unexpected are the responsibility of the buyer, not MarblingSupplies or Etsy.com.***

While packages generally arrive MUCH sooner, I allow the post office 6 weeks for International delivery before becoming concerned.

Though marbled papers themselves do not pose a problem, I cannot fully guarantee shipping of all SUPPLIES to international destinations. Customs officials may be suspicious of some items due to their appearance and intercept shipping. Powdered carrageenan and alum do resemble illicit substances. Liquid gall and paint could also be suspect.

I DO GUARANTEE that I will research your destination to determine whether I think it reasonable to attempt shipping, and if so, do my very best to please customs officials by following your country's protocol. If I determine the shipping to be risky to your destination, I will recommend that we purchase additional insurance and let you know the cost. Marbled Goods does not take responsibility for lost or stolen shipments; though I’ll do my best to recover any cost for you through insurance claims where applicable.

You, too, can help by providing any information specific to your country regarding customs protocol. Thank you for your understanding.
Additional policies and FAQs
I welcome custom orders as time allows. Please contact me about hand-marbled papers and silks for weddings, holidays, birthdays or anything else you might dream up!
