# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Decorated Paper, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Two techniques rather than two looks. Decide which one runs last in the process, because that is the one that will show.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Ebru: Scanning the pattern and tiling it removes the chance of the single sheet, which is what makes it work, and leaves printed wallpaper.
# - Paper Marbling: A digital swirl is no substitute. Understand the liquid's flow, the comb, the chance of transfer.
