How to fix the blank spots on your marbled prints.

You know this scenario: You pull a beautiful print only to realize that during your careful, deliberate and precise placement of paper into your tray, an air bubble became trapped. Now you have a blank spot on your otherwise pristine print. What are you supposed to do with it now? Well, mine always end up in a 'nice scraps' bin because I don't have the heart to toss them.

Today, I pulled together one of these air bubble marbled prints along with some other unwanted materials to create the covers for a junk book. I wanted to test the durability of a new thread that seemed unlikely to hold up in bookbinding. Well, the thread exceeded all expectations, and was even comparable to the sturdiness of linen thread, which is very exciting!

Now, this 'junk book' has suddenly became something unexpectedly beautiful! But with an ugly blank spot in the middle of the cover...What do I do with the book now?

Then it hit me -- Just go in with a small paintbrush and the original marbling paints and do a touch up! To make sure of the consistency and strength of color, I grabbed a scrap sheet of the same paper used for the marbled print and practiced on that before moving onto the book. It's really that easy! Each marbled print is so varied in strength and consistency that no one will even notice you went in and fixed it.
