Eydie,
I would encourage you to try this website again, as I did get pictures,
and it is well worth any trouble to get to see them. If you get a good
connection to the site, click on the titles underneath the images for
even better close up shots.
Also, I believe the terms neriage and nerikome are pretty much refering
to the same technique; marbled clay using various techniques to create
the effect.
Good luck! David
