Descriptive NotesWolfe and Miura: Turkish on Turkish combed pattern.

This pattern was created when the dark brown was dropped sequentially onto the surface of the bath using a marbling brush, then combed through, leaving behind the brown lanes. Then, the tan and the green were each dropped in the same manor.

The primary colors for this example are brown, tan and green.
