This ombré pattern was produced in different colorways since the beginning of Maziarczyk’s career, active 1981–present. It was frequently purchased for use in fine bookbindings and as wall covering throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The pattern is a 4½” repeat, made by painting and combing straight and wavy stripes on top of a solid-color basecoat.
