ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #116:

This is an example of Suminagashi, which is a Japanese marbling technique. The name means “floating ink,” and that’s a good description of the process. It was fun to experiment with marbling on different papers, and this is a closeup of my favorite one — it’s on Arches Cover.
