I have just been introduced to this traditional Turkish art form by one of my blog readers, whose name, coincidentally, is Ebru*. The simplest way to describe Ebru Art is the creation of "marbled paper", but that doesn't do justice either to the complex techniques involved, or to the wonderful variety of effects that can be produced. The one at the head of this posting is typical marbling; the one below involves written script. For further information, please visit the main
Ebru Sanati website. It is in English as well as Turkish, and it's a simple matter to join. Enjoy!

ebru means
eyebrow, but the ebrusanati website gives a range of etymologies for the word as applied to marbled paper art.
