| Title | Modern 20th c. marbled paper, Peacock drag pattern |
| Artist | Guyot, Don |
| Studio Name | Colophon Hand Bindery |
| Place of Production | United States -- Washington (State) -- Seattle |
| Date | 1978 |
| Descriptive Notes | None of the authoritative resources we are using for this database address this particular pattern. However, by combining the parts of other documented patterns according to Muira, this pattern would be considered an example of a Peacock Drag pattern.
The creator of this pattern is Don Guyot, a marbler based in the state of Washington.
The pattern appears to be created by first completing a Peacock pattern whose base is Turkish, most similarly like Muira's Peacock pattern (pg 117). Then a stylus would be drawn through the bath dragging and elongating the loops of the Peacock pattern.

| Collection Notes | This sample is a flat sample from amongst a box of samples Guyot would have used to monitor his inventory and pattern types for his company, Colophon.
