IF YOU HAD TO DESCRIBE CABBAGES & ROSES IN A SENTENCE
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Dreamy and Ethereal!
FIRST OF ALL, CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?
I am a full time professional paper
marbler. I work from a log cabin at the bottom of my garden with my husband
Craig. Marbled papers are traditionally found on the insides of antiquarian
books, but we also supply many designers and artists with our papers and we send
them all over the World. We add drops of Gouache paint on to a liquid made from
Carragheen Moss (an Irish Seaweed),
create a pattern then lay down a sheet of specially treated paper than
picks up the pattern.
Even after a light rinse the paint
stays on the sheet of paper. This Christmas we marbled some baubles using the
same techniques but had a 3D object rather than our normal sheet of paper! We
offer a collection of our one-of-a-kind marbled baubles to the Tinct pop-up
shop.

wine, having been stood up marbling for most of the day!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?
Being

shoes in this paint-splatted job ;-(
