marbler
Creates veined designs
A marbler is someone who creates marbled patterns, especially on paper or book edges.
The craft involves floating pigments on a liquid surface and transferring the swirled designs to paper: The marbler carefully laid the sheet onto the bath.
Marblers traditionally worked in bookbinding, producing the decorative endpapers found in fine editions.
