This torn paper collage is an original piece of art. Paper marbling is a method of surface design obtained by floating paint on the surface of water and carefully transferring the designs onto a sheet of paper. This technique of decorating paper has been used by people in many parts of the world over several centuries to create beautiful end sheets for books, used as a writing surface for calligraphy, and to mark currency as a way of preventing forgery. No two images are ever alike.
