A Host of Angels
Yes, we know it's only January but Christmas is less than 12 months away!
We're making a set of 4 angel Christmas decorations using hand lino printed and coloured prints made on handmade paper which we then cut out (takes about 3 hours per set), then we adhere them to laser cut and hand gilded birch backings. The set will be supplied in a hand sewn storage bag made with a matching angelic fabric, made especially for these holy guys.

Burnishing (polishing) paper with the VPCo XL Agate Burnisher.
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.2 года назад
This process of burnishing paper is age old and very useful. One is able to turn the surface of a matt paper into a glossy, shiny surface. Not only can this change the visual characters of a print it also helps to add strength to the surface of a paper by consolidating the fibres. This process works very well on most printed papers including marbled paper, lino and letterpress prints and even m...

Little drive down the main street on my way to work in Stromness Orkney during lockdown. Quite frankly it's hard to tell the difference between lockdown and normal times although at the moment there are more cars parked on the road than you might normally expect.

I tried this on black paper and I can see the tape. Does anyone have any ideas of what else to use on dark paper?
Try Scotch Tape, Crystal clear one. Maybe it will work
Magnifique !
Is burnishing done before Miniature painting is done or it is done after miniature painting is made on Waslis(Layered papers, glued togeather, of some thickness) to give it a shiny finish. In book it is written 'Latter' so, does that mean paiting is done on bumpy paper(which seems very counterintuitive) and only after painting is complete, bumps are pressed using some glass or Shiny stone or Agate or Like you used soap.
Does the tape have a glossy finish, or alternatively a matte finish? If you are repairing something like an art print, or colorful image from a magazine, the finish of the tape over the tear may cause an undesirable contrast. I would prefer a matte finish on the tape. Thanks for vid!!
Thank you for your demonstration . i have this tape and every time I pull it out (?yearly?) I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT 😂
Hi thats brilliant - i need to repair vintage rice paper drawings - on holiday in the Far East - no one has any idea what im talking about in a stationers here !!
Wonder if it works for illustration board at all? If it does I'd buy ALOT.
Hi I have been trying to contact you about the tape etc. could you give me a contact email. I found this video very interesting
Where it is available
still available?
Useless for antique maps, the tape is very visible over the cartography.
Use scotch acid free tape, it is glossy, but totally clear.
Uhhh...this isn't a video...this is a wiki how turned into a slide show.
Uhhh... all videos are slide shows with variable frame rates. Also this is 8 years old and represents our limited tech know-how at that time.
Yay! Perfect elephant.
Hehe
Hehe
Very informative. (And so happy there wasn’t any annoying music)
Does this work on cartridge? It looks as though that is what you have used here but wanted to check. The cartridge is 200gsm acid free. Thanks!
It works on virtually all paper.
This excellent video solved the riddle of how to take the backing off the tape. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for the video Really helpful and worth buying this tape .
How can I get this agate burnisher
Go to www.vpco.uk. they're available there
I ordered some from you and you saved me a ton of trouble sir. Thank you so much. Just used it on some legal docs that I stupidly sliced when opening with a letter opener. Worked really well. The tint was a bit off from the document so you can tell its their but I did the back and the front looks near perfect.
Fav and the most informational video on papermaking so far!
All of you don't check the phone's volume 😂
Oh my goodness this was so funny
Can I use glue as a sizing???
some people do
Where can I buy that wooden frame to make paper?
Ebay or there are some suppliers of handmade paper tools on etsy etc.
How the thickness can be adjusted as per the requirement
i think it could be measured by the amount of pulp added to the mould, which can be related to the thickness of the wood of the deckle, the height of the deckle...i dont know if i make any sense
Does this tape work on color paper ?
Yes - it's more dependent on the surface of the paper. If it's very glossy then the repair is more visible than on matt paper.
What model car are you driving? So quiet!
We go to Orkney each year and stay in Stromness which we won't be able to this year we just love Orkney there is no where else. in the world as. wonderful. I was born there many years ago
It's an electric van. Perfect for Orkney
perfect coronavirus project! loved the video!
I'm taking up carpentry soon and was thinking making a similar setup for some paper making experiments. I'm gonna try make my pulp out of cotton balls and see what happens. Thanks for the video guys!
hi!, i am trying the very same technique, moreover id like to know how did you dissolve the cotton balls?
I don’t have most of those stuff... it’s sad I really wish I could recycle my paper to make new ones
most of this stuff costs very little, no more than £20 or £30.
Vintage Paper Co honestly I don’t even know where I could find the filter thingy 😂 I guess I could go to my mom’s to use her blender, but it doesn’t change the fact that I don’t have a mould and no staple gun to make one
@@Tilly4Miumy very basic paper making kits on eBay from under £7. Enough to get you started.
Vintage Paper Co oh really ?! I wonder if I can find some on the French eBay, I’ll look it up, thanks for the tip !
mad respect to the editor! right amount of info and funny... time to make my own paper!!!
let me get this strraight.........to make paper all you need is paper?
Ha ha, in this instance yes. You've heard of recycled paper right? You can also use something called cotton linters which looks like paper when you get it (like thick white card) but it can't be used as paper because it hasn't had any size added to it (the stuff that stops the paper blotting when you apply ink to it). You might want to make thin paper or very thick paper so your recycled paper or cotton linters enable you to make pretty much whatever thickness and size you want. You're only limited by your equipment and in my case, VERY basic skills.
@@vintagepaperco345 👍
you also need yogourt to make home made yogourt ;)
Other than the speed of the text being a bit fast and having to pause to read this was an amazingly well done instructional video.
where i get this gelletine sheet
cant get a perfect paper for painting😔
add sizing; gelatine or starch. He explains in the video.
@@sollc1708 Hello, can i sizing before let the paper dries?
where i get stiff plastic sheet?
eBay?
can i use cornstarch ?
Should be fine, painted onto the surface.
@@vintagepaperco345 how much ?
Hi, is size is the same thing with coating paper for calligraphy ?
Yes, same sort of idea. Often paper for calligraphy is prepared slightly differently where something like Gum Arabic is applied to the surface of the paper but I believe it's for the same end purpose (although I know next to nothing about calligraphy and its processes).
Mine air dried in the sun and curled up! I tried to dry it inside for 3 days, and it still was damp. I want to make very thick papers. Tips? I had it drying on glass, was that the mistake?
Unless you can press the paper under a press to remove loads of water you will find that it'll take quite a while to dry. Think of it as laundry - enough wind and sunshine and it'll dry eventually. The paper will curl up but once dry pile it up and press it under some heavy weights to flatten it.
@@vintagepaperco345 Thanks so much! I had the courage to iron it and some other papers and they all ironed flat and dry! Took a little patience! Thanks, again!
@@daviddewitt9365 smooth paper is called Hot Press paper because in the very old days they pretty much used this technique too! As time moved on the technique changed but the name for smooth surface paper remained.
Am I right in assuming that if I am using recycled paper i.e. computer paper or envelopes etc that is meant to write on that the sizing already in that paper will be dissolved in the process and be part of the new paper? No need to add more sizing unless experiments show otherwise?
I honestly don't know! Also it depends on what you're going to do with the newly made paper. If you're going to write on it with a ballpoint pen then sizing is irrelevant, same to a degree with Sharpies etc. Make some and let us know! 😁
I didnt understand why we cant paint or write with ink without gelatine.. ?
Good question! It doesn't have to be gelatine sized. Paper can be sized with vegetable starch or even PVA glue brushed onto the surface and allowed to dry. It's simply that gelatine is the most effective solution that gives the best results. Paper which isn't sized is like blotting paper. So when you put watercolour or ink onto the surface it will spread without any definition of line.
@@vintagepaperco345 can you add glue to the pulp mixture for sizing?
WARNING COULD CAUSE RELATIONSHIP ISSUES Lol
Excellent video, guess this diy is more economical then buying Arches?
I think buying Arches is probably much easier than trying to master the art of paper making but making your own paper every now and then is great fun. Even if it ends up as rubbish as mine 😂😂🤣🤣
I guess I need to master paper making since Arches is unavailable or is very expensive here.
I am curious about the paper weight, and how different paper thickness are achieved (you know, different g/m2). What if someone wants thin paper? Does more pressing of the paper (when it's wet) makes it thinner?
No, the weight/thickness of the paper is determined by how much pulp you add the mould. For thick watercolor type paper you use lots of pulp, for thinner, writing style paper you use less.
how can you size handmade paper then?
Make a bath of gelatin solution, soak the sheets in it and hang to dry. 😁
is this equal parts water and gelatin?
@@louilelee9978 that I can't tell you. It's a case of experimenting. Some gelatin is stronger than others.
@@vintagepaperco345 what is gelatin?
@@vintagepaperco345 should the vat with gelatin be hot, boiling whilst soaking the sheet in it?
Very useful thanks.
A++ for the added quirkiness. Amazing!
This thing you call a forming sheet where do you get it, it looks like shelf liner
If you buy a papermaking deckle and mould it'll come with it. If you choose to make your own then you'll need to get a thin sheet of metal or plastic with very small holes in it, like a sieve.
@@vintagepaperco345 where i get this forming sheet?
love the humor!
