Alchemy & marbling
Karli Frigge Dutch
"This book contains 24 original tipped-in marbles with surprising shapes ... Of all the marbles recipes are given. Half the experiments have been done in black paint: a prerequisite to do the work. Moreover, this shows the shapes and structures to their best advantage. It is not until the last chapter that colours are shown in surprising gradations."--Artist's Website: www.karli-frigge.com
