    Hi Kelly, besides a papermaker, I’m a bookbinder. You could easily turn those pieces into bookcloth by ironing on lightweight fusible webbing and then a layer of rice or mulberry paper to the other side (as you know, the latter paper makes it able to be adhered to the book board). I could go on and on but I just had a visual of that process and how your momigami could be pieced together as a hardback book cover.

    This sounds funny but I only had Vicks and Vaseline available at hand one day so used these on separate pages and it worked superbly! Will infuse my Vaseline with a drop of essential oil for fragrance next time and use that. I spread quite a decent amount of the Vicks or Vaseline on my hands and on the papers, which were so soft and workable that I could crunch, knead and even became like a piece of clay. The colors were deep and vibrant!

    This process is so therapeutic. I tried all kinds of papers. My favorites were brown paper bag(looks like leather), a matte metallic wrapping paper, artisan paper gift bag (thick…almost like cloth already, but gets softer), and thicker magazine paper. In the later, the inks get into the more geometric creases/folds. I used coconut oil. I was able to use acrylic paint pens on the more porous papers.

    • @BookandPaperArts
      @BookandPaperArts  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi Jenn. Therapeutic is right - I had a pain in my hand the week I made this video and after kneading a ton of papers I found that it was just gone. Metallic sounds interesting. I do like how the ink from the papers bleeds into the creases as you say, giving a depth and mystery that could not have been imagined at the beginning. Thanks for dropping by! Kelly

    Just tried this for the first time, and I can see how addictive it could become! I used a page from a NatGeo magazine, all bright yellows and creams, but there was an image of a coffee-brown moth on the flip side, and I noticed that the brown color migrated to the yellow page. I’m not hating it, but it was unexpected. I also found that if I gently opened the paper ball and smoothed it out after each crumple, I didn’t get any tearing in the finished material except for around the edges. Looking forward to making more of these! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

      Hi. I am going to guess it depends on the finished paper as some is more robust than others. Be sure and check that your oil has cured and doesn't spread (this takes a day or three). And yes, the web does sound a good idea for overall reinforcing.

On this project, the best results, however, were from the cheap supermarket ad magazines so - who knew?

    I used avocado, olive and grape seed oils.
    I used a seed catalog, and an art magazine on good paper. The colors brightened a little overnight after the papers dried.
    Next step collage them together in layers to make something less fragile.

      @@BookandPaperArts Wales. I wondered where you were. I'd love to go there some day.
      I did let everything dry several days. The totally dry pages were brighter.
      I liked the idea of the cover of a journal with the extra layers so that's where I started.
      I put glue on the images that seemed muddled and tore and layered the brighter images on top.
      Then I took a boring full size page and glued larger pieces down starting around the edges. Then I put my original piece down in the middle. I left the edges lose so I can fill in the blanks under or over the edges.
      I may collage the name of the book with letters from magazines. After I create a title.
      I think I'll water color a piece of parchment paper first and then create the fabric for the inside of the cover. I have a couple of small boxes, about 3x4 inches I plan to to use to make a small book.
      I think the folding in advance helps. The creases seem to give the oil a place to get into the ink.
      Thanks for your encouragement.
