Exquisite Hand-Marbled Paper Art

Unique, one-of-a-kind marbled designs created using traditional water marbling techniques

The Ancient Art of Paper Marbling

Every piece is an original work of art, capturing the mesmerising dance of colour on water

Beautiful hand-marbled paper with swirling purple, blue and pink water marbling patterns

Welcome to Marbling Magpie, where I create stunning hand-marbled paper using the centuries-old technique of water marbling. Each piece begins its life floating on a carefully prepared bath, where pigments dance and swirl to create patterns that can never be exactly replicated.

This ancient art form, with roots in Turkish and Japanese traditions, produces truly unique designs. No two pieces are ever identical, making every marbled paper you purchase a genuine one-of-a-kind treasure.

My marbled papers are perfect for framing as artwork, bookbinding, scrapbooking, gift wrapping, collage work, or any creative project where you want to add a touch of handcrafted elegance and individuality.

How I Create Each Piece

The traditional water marbling process, lovingly executed by hand

1

Prepare the Bath

I create a carefully thickened water solution that will support the floating pigments and allow them to spread beautifully across the surface.

2

Apply Colours

Specially prepared marbling paints are gently dropped onto the water surface, where they float and expand into mesmerising circles.

3

Create Patterns

Using traditional tools like combs, styluses, and brushes, I manipulate the floating colours into intricate swirls, feathers, and geometric designs.

4

Transfer to Paper

High-quality paper is carefully laid onto the water surface, capturing the floating design in a single, unrepeatable moment of transfer.

5

Rinse & Dry

The marbled paper is gently rinsed to remove excess solution, revealing the vibrant colours, then laid flat to dry completely.

6

Finish & Package

Once fully dry, each piece is pressed flat, inspected for quality, and carefully packaged to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about marbled paper and my work

What paper sizes do you offer? +
I work with a variety of paper sizes ranging from A6 (10x15cm) up to A3 (30x42cm) and can accommodate custom sizes for special commissions. The most popular sizes are A5 and A4, which work beautifully for framing, journaling, and craft projects.
Can I request specific colours or patterns? +
Absolutely! Custom commissions are welcome. You can specify colour preferences, pattern styles (such as Turkish stone, nonpareil, or combed patterns), and I'll create pieces tailored to your vision. Please note that due to the nature of water marbling, exact replication isn't possible, but I'll work closely to achieve your desired aesthetic.
How should I care for marbled paper? +
Marbled papers should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and stored flat or rolled (never folded) to avoid creasing. If framing, use UV-protective glass. The papers are water-based, so keep them dry. When used in projects, they can be adhered with standard bookbinding or craft adhesives.
What's your turnaround time for orders? +
Ready-made pieces typically ship within 3-5 business days. Custom commissions require 2-3 weeks as I create the marbling specifically for you, allow proper drying time, and ensure quality control. Rush orders may be accommodated for an additional fee – please enquire directly.
Do you ship internationally? +
Yes, I ship worldwide! All papers are carefully packaged flat between protective boards to ensure they arrive in pristine condition. Shipping costs vary by destination and are calculated at checkout. International orders typically arrive within 7-14 business days depending on location.
Do you offer marbling workshops? +
I offer both in-person workshops (when available) and online tutorials. In-person workshops are small, intimate sessions where you'll learn traditional techniques and create your own marbled papers to take home. Online tutorials provide step-by-step guidance you can follow.process-steps at your own pace. Check the workshops page for current offerings and dates.
