Description

This card illustrates how marbled paper can be used in French Mats, a style of picture mat that is created by inking border lines and filling the space between lines with watercolor, gold, and/or marbled paper. French Mats are primarily used in framing of Master drawings, natural history, portrait, sporting, and architectural prints. The designs of Paper Legacy artists Susan Pogány, Diane Maurer, and Mimi Schleicher are included.
