Description

Please, see the note of photo named as Marbling-1 firstly. BATTAL EBRU Made by sprinkling dyes using brushes over the size. The design on the size resembles marble. Although it is the simplest form of ebru in terms of the process, it is the most difficult if one considers the result i.e. the marble-like pattern. All the ebrus are started with "battal" except "kumlu". The battal ebru is an indicator of proficiency of a marbler because if the correct balance between the thickness of the size and the amount of ox-gall and water in the dyes cannot be reached, either the battal doesn't resemble marble or the dyes are removed from the surface of the paper when it is stripped off the tray. Western marblers treat their papers with alum prior to marbling in order to get rid of this problem. Battal ebru is used around calligraphy and inside the bindings of books. -------------------------------------------- Thank you for all your precious comments.Please feel free to ask yourself if you have a question via e-mail or message.
