marbled paper
Ink-swirled decorative pages
Marbled paper displays swirling, colorful patterns that resemble the veins in marble stone.
The effect comes from floating pigments on water, then laying paper on the surface to transfer the design.
Traditional bookbinding uses marbled paper for endpapers and covers: The antique volume had beautiful marbled paper inside the front cover.
