<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ARguy, post: 955452, member: 16047&quot;]Thanks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You&#039;re right about Franklin and nature prints. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You probably know this, but the idea with the marbling was to match the pattern on the note against the pattern on a retained stub. Sometimes the cut was made in a wavy pattern (called indenting) that added another dimension that had to match.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW, the real process for making this paper involves dragging paper through water on the surface of which oil-based dyes are swirled around. Before I got this note, I drew one as an illustration (below), scanned the drawing and printed it on marbled paper. I made the of marbled paper by squirting food coloring onto some shaving cream and swirling it around with toothpicks. The shaving cream holds the pattern, which is imparted to a piece of paper pressed against it. Quiickly washing the paper removes the shaving cream, but leaves the pattern. My kids really got a kick out of this.</p><p>[ATTACH]90550.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
