Abstract
A method of decorating material for example paper consists of superimposing one marbled pattern on top of another marbled pattern. The marbled patterns are produced by floating and combining marbling ink on the surface of a bath of size solution. The upper marbled pattern consists of linear regions of ink formed by interspersing ink with transparent expanding agent on the surface of the size bath so that the ink is confined by the compressive effect of the expanding agent, thus the pattern is in outline only. The ink and expanding agent are applied to the surface of the size bath using a specially constructed frame comb.
