marbling

  
   
coloured patterns used on endpapers

COMMENT: Marbling involves making an irregular pattern of lines of colour, as opposed to stipppling, which is an irregular pattern of dots or spots of colour. In marbling, the paper is placed in a vat in which a gum solution made from Irish moss is covered with liquid colours, which are moved into swirling patterns.
