Pro tip: I called fancy handmade marbled paper a waste of cash for 3 years, then a bookbinder in Savannah handed me a sheet
I used to think marbling was just people showing off, because a pack of 12 machine made sheets costs me about $18 and looks fine under a cloth spine. Then at a guild meetup in Savannah this past spring, a woman named Doris let me try covering a small journal in a sheet she marbled herself, and the swirls had this depth you can feel with your thumb. Now I am torn, because on one hand that paper was gorgeous, but on the other hand one messed up cut means the whole $22 sheet is trash and I can't reorder it next week. So here is the debate I want to settle: is handmade marbled paper really worth the money for a working binder, or is it just for show pieces nobody opens? Has anyone here switched over completely and actually kept their prices sane?
