An artist demonstrates Turkish paper marbling


An artist demonstrates Turkish paper marbling while Turkish-Americans and visitors enjoy displays of Turkish culture at the Grand Bazaar in the City, part of the Turkish Days in New York festival, showcasing the history and cultural heritage of Turkey in New York on Sunday, October 4, 2009. Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, producing patterns similar to marble or other stone. The patterns are created by floating color on water or a viscous solution and then transferring the design to paper. (© Frances M. Roberts)
