| General note | "The marbled papers, drawings and text for this book have been made by me in a lapse of many years. The translation is by Els Rademacher and corrected by Sid Berger, California. Ben Jurgens made the layout and the book was printed by Hanzestad, Deventer on paper of Gmund. After this I started binding the books. The pages are stitched on parchment laces. It is a variation on the old Dutch style of binding. Hopefully I will succeed in making enough of these awkward samples to complete one hundred copies of this book."--Colophon |
| General note | "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 |
