(ii) Decarucomany Wood engraving and dyeing are the most popular printing methods using forms. So, let's seek methods of printing and pressing without using forms in a distorted way of thinking. One of them is decarucomany. When paints are placed on a sheet of glass or a sheet of smooth paper, the paints are pushed around towards a direction of pressure to form strange shapes. In this case, since a form is not used, the same shape can never be reproduced. In other wards, this is an accidental pattern appearing just one time.
When a decarucomany is made by opening a sheet of paper which has been folded in half, an
accidental symmetrical (right and left) pattern is generated. The patterns of a Rorschach test are
created using this method in the field of psychology. The abstract shapes created by accidents are
mysterious, and this character to inspire various imaginations is utilized. In the field of painting, the
decarucomany of Dominges is famous. But this technique is used by many other artists as well.
