Work in Progress: Creating the Supporting Background

I am working on two projects where the featured piece needs to be supported by a strong but unobtrusive background. This is new territory for me as far as incorporating marbling into the process. I'm excited to be experimenting, especially with new materials and techniques, but I'm also feeling out of my element and therefore incredibly novice and, quite frankly, stupid. But what the heck...you only live once! Some shots from one of the projects:

There are a few more layers I have in my head that I want to add here but I'll be taking baby steps with those. I'll share the process along the way. Stay tuned. Who knows what will happen!
