The second method may be easier as it appears that the other side of the Material is the same as the most metallic finish. I like the effect of the metallic in contrast the Matt dot pattern. Depending on the angle of the light source , the dots appear light against a darker background or darker against a lighter background.]]> 2020-10-12 18:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fl_keio/zlaeq35zn3y6/wish/822510012 Marbled dranorter https://padlet.com/fl_keio/zlaeq35zn3y6/wish/847444487 My own attempt to learn paper marbling.
