"I don't care if Monday's blue..."
Actually, we do care, especially when it comes to this brilliant blue marbled binding and complimentary blue marbled endpapers! (Not pictured: blue sprinkled edges and a blue silk bookmark. Swoon!)
This style of leather marbling is known as Valencia marbling, a variation of Spanish marbling known for its bright, vibrant colors.
Lope de Vega. Colección de las obras sueltas. (Madrid, 1776).

We've been posting materials for #MarbledMonday for years, but for the first time ever, we get to post our own work. On Saturday, Jim Downey of Legacy Bookbindery led students, faculty members and librarians in a paper marbling workshop. Watch the video to see what we learned!

"Fine warm weather. Some rain towards the end."
From: The Royal Kalendar for 1789. London: Printed for J. Debrett, 1789.
