Suminagashi | The making of ginga

- The title of this piece is ginga 銀河 (galaxy).
Suminagashi (墨流し), often translated to "floating ink," is the ancient Japanese technique of marbling. For me, it is art therapy.
There is something so healing about lightly touching your brushes to the surface of the water and creating those entrancing ink rings. Any slight breath or movement and a new design will take shape. You can't control it. You can't replicate it. It just is. In turn, forcing you to just go with its flow. To live and create without certainty.

Thank you so much for watching! I hope you will try making your own suminagashi print. A list of the materials I used and their links can be found below...

+ Ink: www.dickblick.com/products/yasutomo-liquid-sumi-ink/

+ Tray: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XJR3X1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
+ Water: I use distilled water to fill the tray about 1/4"-1/2". I use tap water to fill the cup and some all-natural dish soap (I don't measure it... whoops). You only need a little bit of soap - start with three or four drops (you can always add more).
This is great. Thank you so much! Also, consider making more videos!
@@aarondcoe Thank you for the encouragement! I definitely will. I just posted a new one. I hope you will check it out.
This was just wonderful, the whole experience of this video. Thank you!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching.
Subscribed! Your channel and content are amazing. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for linking to our products 😊
OMG. Thank you so much! Your products are my fave. 😊
Beautiful! The video is great- the music, filming, framing, and content. Can you comment on materials? Specifically I'm curious as to the ink (india, sumi, etc.) and the water (pure water, sizing). Thank you and thank you for sharing.
Hi Aaron! I left a pinned comment that I hope is helpful. I kinda just go with my gut on the water to soap ratio, but the tray is 11 x 17. You can use any tray really (I started with a baking pan). You only need 1/4-1/2 inch of water.
очень красиво , спасибо
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Hi there! First time watching this video! On onevofcthe brushes you have black ink. What do you have on the other brush? Its not so clear from the descritions provided. Thanking you for a quick response!
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching. 😊 You're right. One brush has ink, and the other has soapy water on it. I put water in a cup, add a few drops of dish soap, and then mix it together. I hope that helps!
@@hellostudiom Indeed it helps! Thank you so much for your almost immediate response! Warm regards from Mauritius.
