Memo pad box - memo pad holder - hand marbled

Hand made memo pad holder - marble paper A solid and durable memo pad holder with replaceable "Il Papiro" notepad - wooden memo box covered with hand marbled paper The technique used to create the marbling requires great skill and precision, and has been used in Italy since the 17th century. A basin is filled with a thick, vegetable-based liquid, and its surface is sprinkled with different colours. The craftsman creates patterns in these colours using combs, and then gently places the paper on the surface of the liquid without moving the design. It only takes a few seconds for the paper to absorb the colours, then the decoration is complete and the colours are immediately dry. Pad size 9x9 cm. - box size 10x10 cm.
