Create strong, fabric like papers for journals, mixed media and collage using the Momigami process.

In this video, Louise demonstrates methods inspired by the Japanese art of Momigami.
Momigami is the folding and kneading of mulberry papers to create a strong and durable paper that can be used to cover books, make clothing and for lanterns and parasols.
The methods used to transform the paper to make it flexible and strong. In this video, Louise uses 220gsm cartridge paper and acrylic paints to create a similar effect to the Momigami effect. The papers are transformed from crisp, tearable sheets into a wonderful unique substance perfect for mixed media and bookbinding. And collage. From this point, it is then up to your imagination to apply this technique to a vast variety of possibilities.

Thanks, Louise, for featuring a process with which I’ve been experimenting. I like the effect of using oil, but I’m not settled on a reliable method of adhering such pieces. I’m still considering other options, but at this point, I’ve had the best success with Lineco glue. Any thoughts? Always enjoy your videos!

Hi Sharon, It is really interesting to see how the papers respond to the different possibilities. It is worth researching the konnyaku glue mentioned in the video. It is interesting to try non porous and porous applications to the paper. Also I found that the papers absorbed so much of the oil that it doesn’t really affect the papers too much, just moisturises them. However the Japanese use the konnyaku starch and then use the papers for interior wall dividers and so the end results must be strong and durable. Good luck and keep in touch it will be good to share results. All the best Louise

@@LouiseJannetta Will do, Louise! Experimenting is always interesting and is an inherent part of both our work. Have a great day!
