One Folding Fan · Marbled-Paper Collage

SUBJECT
One open folding fan made from a single semicircular cutout of marbled paper, with a small ochre pivot at the bottom center and two narrow ochre outer ribs extending along its straight lower edges.

COMPOSITION
Show the fan straight on, centered on a warm ivory paper ground. Its curved edge faces upward, its pivot points downward, and generous empty margins keep the entire silhouette readable.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Cut a clean semicircular silhouette with subtly handmade edges; draw a few fine radial fold lines from the bottom-center pivot to the curved rim, keeping these straight structural lines distinct from the flowing marbling.

2. Color & light
Use charcoal ink bands on pale cream paper, with muted ochre reserved for the pivot and outer ribs; light from the upper left of the image casts a faint paper-edge shadow toward the lower right.

3. Texture & material
Build the marbling from nested, uneven ink ribbons that bend around pale pools and occasionally widen or break; let the pattern run continuously across the fold lines and end abruptly at the cut edge, with matte paper grain visible in the light areas.

4. Composition
Place the largest marbled swirl slightly above and to the image-left of the pivot, leaving a quieter pale area on the image-right; keep the whole fan large enough to compare the curved ink flow with the radial folds at a glance.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Prioritize continuous marbling that visibly crosses the fan’s structural fold lines.

AVOID
Avoid arranging the ink bands into radial stripes or giving the paper a glossy plastic finish.

OUTPUT
One square image of a handmade paper collage, with no lettering, labels, border, or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Check that the flowing ink pattern, straight folds, and cut-paper edge remain visibly distinct.
