So many people are asking what paint was used, despite the fact that she said it is "ink" at the start. Water based or oil based can be used. Also for those asking, she mentioned that the surfactant is Kodak Photo-Flo, of which you need approx 1% mixed into your water. (instructions are on the bottle.
I have tried suminagashi several time but always failed since the paint always sink. It turned out that I missed the surfactant step hahaha, gonna try again soon.
Voyageur i think any container would just fine. I used a plastic food container that’s large enough to put A5 sized paper inside. I may have to buy a bigger container for A4 though
According to her website, the kodak-flo does not go to water bath but it is mixed with the inks themselves instead ; 3 drops of kodak-flo is mixed with 2 tsp of ink - the bath/vat is pure water; also she mixed 1 tbl of water with 1 drop of dish soap
I've been working on an illustrated book for 20 years... I have next to nothing to show for it. Strangely enough, that's about how long the Internet has existed (or how long I've been on it anyway) It's all this damn roleplaying It's better than real life
we used to do this in my japanese school during calligraphy class. when we were done our work, we’d take the water that we use to clean our brushes and fool around with the ink, and then rip a bit of the newspaper we used to protect our desks from ink spills, and apply it just like in the video!
❤And then what do we do with it? You have experience, so I thought Id ask you. 😉 I been wondering about it for awhile. Sure its fun to do, the first dozen times, but then what? I have a few & want to make more. But I gotta justify the expense. What did you & your classmates do with yours. Bookcovers maybe, what else? Thanx for your time, Be well🌱
Elfshot Dunless we just did it for fun in class with small pieces of newspaper, we never really did any full pieces. but it’s really fun to see what kind of patterns that the water can make. my mom is actually a visual artist and she used some of hers to cover boxes, make book covers, cards, and lots of other things!
I was so tickled when you brought up the cat whiskers! I find whiskers from my cats ALL THE TIME! lol I have a whole collection of them, I keep with my brushes. I have even given them out to other painter friends who don't have cats. They are great for manipulating paint and inks. The artist's mind... always cracks me up when some random thing I do/collect, is also something another artist does too. ;) Thanks for sharing
Do you by any chance sell cat whiskers and if so , how much would a set of 5 cost.I 'm getting too old to chase cats and , besides , my cat is faster and smarter than I am . She thinks I 'm just playing some new game with her .

Ooh, I would love to do this with my sister. She’s at art school and owns a lot of these materials, and I love custom clothing so dying a silk handkerchief or something would just be a fun activity to do with her
My 4 year old spent hours in the sink with food coloring and soap bubbles. I couldn't get all the colors off of him. He looked like a clown when I sent him to preschool the next day. What fun! 🤗💕
Wow!! Over the past four years I’ve been into cement crafts then lately it’s been resin (too expensive)!! Today I find this video and I’m hooked! This is kid friendly and affordable. Thank you.
Very interesting, and it looks fairly easy... well, maybe that is an illusion! It might just be that you are so good at doing it that it appears to be easy.... in either case, it is very beautiful, and I'll try it! Thanks for the great demo!
In Turkey, we call this art *Ebru* art. It is also used as a name for girls and my name is Ebru, so i'm really happy about it. We make beautiful backgrounds and flowers with it. Ebru also means 'dark clouds or rainy clouds'. I recommend to look at videos of it, because it is beautiful and satisfying to watch. 😊
I just saw the movie "Shadow" where the costume design reminds me of this technique (that's what caught my eye and why I checked out this video). The costume design is STUNNING. Coming from a fashion design background I think you'll really appreciate what they did. I can't WAIT to give this a try sometime!
In my 26 years , always owning a cat, I've found 1 cat whisker (was poking me on my bed sheet). Either I don't see them and they get hoovered up or they are shed outside. I find shed claw cases every couple months though.
I have had 2 to 3 cats through out my life and I only found 2 whiskers maybe they do get vacumed up .I do find the cat nails that have shed all the time.
Well since cats do not seem to shed whiskers, I mean personally I have never found any from my cats through the years, but there is abundant nail shedding...just use the nails. Or you could always paint the cats nails.
So would the isopropyl alcohol be considered "hydrophobic"? This was a lovely video to watch. You have a pleasant voice and demeanor. It was nice of you to share your knowledge with us. Truly, the Japanese are masters of ink!
This is also how I'm feeling! I'm obsessed with textiles lately, really wanting to work with inks, and I'm always interested in using an art or craft as a tool for contemplation/meditation. This brings it all together. I even have a stash of my cat's whiskers ready to go 😂😺 (for felt animals, now this!)
When do you add the Kodak photo flow???? Saw the water. Was the flow added before water or when? And how much for the inks. Are the Inks permanent on Silk or is there a fixative on the silk before dipping into the marbled inks?
Very nice video! I’ve tried acrylic pouring, but I’m also a fiber artist. I’m always looking for new techniques I can incorporate in my designs. Thank you
Hello, this is the instructor in the video. If you have further questions about surfactants or the suminagashi process, you can check out my free illustrated guide under the Resources tab on my website (link in video description). Happy Marbling!
@@mtpeacock Thank you, Meryl! Since suminagashi is just inks floating on water, adding a surfactant will lower the surface tension of the water to allow the inks to spread farther and stay for longer on the surface of the water. I add surfactant to the ink one drop at a time, testing as I go on the water, to get the amount of ink flow that I want. You may need to continually add surfactant to your ink one drop at a time as you go as it gets used up in the marbling process. Check out the Resources page on my website here for more info: linhcreates.art/resources/. You can also find my email on my website if you have further questions for me!
@@mtpeacock Dish soap is indeed a surfactant, and I use it with water and a brush to create negative space. It is not the best to use with inks, though. For ink surfactant, I prefer Kodak Photo-Flo. Hope that helps!

@@carpo719 well.. do your cats go outside? maybe you've vacuumed or swept and never noticed them? cats loose whiskers. its normal, nothing different to how you shed hair or eyelashes. but of course,. you might worry if all your hair or eyelashes were falling out. i've owned two cats, i noticed whiskers on the floor a few times but she was an indoor/outdoor cat. my current one, i've never noticed, but again she is a indoor/outdoor as well and i've only had her for 2 years compared to 14 with the other.
beautiful and thank you, it feels alot like working with alcohol ink, which i adored .... but gave up because of the fumes, THIS might be a great replacement for it.
@@PepsiObsessi ooh yes! Nice one. Also about the size of molecules. (By estimating the thickness of one of the films of paint/oil) Thanks for the inspiration :)
I have done some research on this process to give a try with my students and I've read from some artists that they've been successful with using carrageenan as a water thickening agent to prevent pigments from sinking to the bottom. Has anyone tried this yet? I've got a batch settling today and am going to give it a go but any pointers are always welcome! :)
Cats shed their whiskers plenty, they’re just not as easy to spot on carpet or if they regularly go outside. The dark bit on the end is just the bulb; your hair has the same thing at the end if it naturally falls out without breaking. You can also reuse cat whiskers, so she probably has a collection. It’s pretty harmful to just assume someone is abusing their animals.

Brian Moore izit water colour works to substitute with sumi inks?
But can u wash the article after, will the ink hold?
I want a tray like that. I know some people build them with acrylic and glue but not sure how to.
Watercolour will not work, it just diffuses into the water

Oh no I just found another favourite art hobby. Thanks fantastic video. Love from Scotland
Visions of this girl running around after her cat trying to snatch a whisker 😂
I do traditional marbling and use carrageenan in the water and treat fabrics and paper with alum
This looks like the Ebru art from Turkey i think this one is more lke marble but the ebru i fot telling story a,d decorating paper
Yeah, it looks like Ebru art which is Turkish but Ebru does not have ink.
madambooklover you’re right they use a different type of paint
I've been looking into upping my paper marbling game, and I think this is the method I'll use!
Love this tutorial! It inspires me to make my own fabric. Is it possible to do this with larger yardage of silk?
Yeah, with a larger container and more inks and surfactant...
Anything that starts with Sumi is awesome.
Bellissimo tutorial ! Grazie
Beautiful, beautiful, both the result and the performer 😃
Have question, after silk drying of the inks, can u wash it? I was thinking place mats
I'm wondering this same thing. Thinking about a scarf.
Maybe put it into a slightly acidic solution I guess to fix the ink.
I think it depends on the ink you’re using. I’m guessing waterproof ink would stays better.

Loved watching this very soothing do you print on artist paper then frame it.....
You totally plucked that whisker, dont lie.

Awe. When I still had a kitty sometimes I would find her whiskers laying around.
If she had plucked a whisker, she would be in the hospital instead of making beautiful art.

Thanks for sharing, looks relaxing 😊 and beautiful!
Surfactants is basically soap. So don't be scared
can i use dishwasher rinse aid instead of the stuff she used?
Thanks !
What a wonderful teacher you are..thank you for sharing on u-tube!!! :)
6:18 why not make a rig that would hold the silk for printing

Oh my god this is genius!! Perfect for my art workshops with kids!
Some of it reminds me of Turkish Ebru.

So amazing omggggg it looks so satisfying
The sumi wrestler is what pushes ink into the patterns.
so they gave us instructions on how to care for the print after the paper picks it up...
How do you care for silk that's been printed this way?
Probably the same way, left to dry hanging
Thank you for helping, e get closer to peace and to my culture, i will try

Cats shed their whiskers plenty, they’re just not as easy to spot on carpet or if they regularly go outside. The dark bit on the end is just the bulb; your hair has the same thing at the end if it naturally falls out without breaking. You can also reuse cat whiskers, so she probably has a collection. It’s pretty harmful to just assume someone is abusing their animals.
I have 3 cats in my house. I know whiskers, like all hairs shed. But I repeat. I have NEVER seen a whisker lying around.
