Kooky Technique - AN INTRODUCTION TO MOMIGAMI - Japanese Kneaded paper

Күн бұрын

Hello my lovely Magpie Wombles!
Today I am bringing you a technique video - it is an introduction to Momigami which literally means “kneaded paper” in Japanese.
Various methods can be used to make Momigami papers. Traditionally the use of Konnyaku starch was used to create the fabric-like texture. It can be used in collage, book binding and lampshades to name but a few of its uses.
The techniques I show use the simple kneaded paper without additions and then using hand lotion, body ion lotion and hair oil. You can also use olive oil, coconut oil or any other cooking oils that you may have to hand.
I hope you enjoy this simple technique!

Konjac is what miracle noodles are made from. Those gluten-free squeaky noodles when you fry them.😂😂😂😂 they remind me of purple reddish Calla lilies, and it’s the “corn” the stamen looking part in the middle of the flower that makes the starch.

Nice to know that lovely scented hair oil will work nicely to add softness. Good evercise for the fingers to keep them soft and supple for crafing.

this is fab. I tried tissue paper, craft paper and water colour paper. all worked out great except the watercolour paper which I'd painted on previously and it fell apart quite quickly, though tried agsin with lotion (karma cream from lush, so it smells divine) and it didnt fall apart. completely hooked 😊. Will use it to wrap up some little presents.

After doing this with oil, can you use acrylic gel medium to attach it to a mixed medium piece? And would it be archival with the oil in it?

@KoolKookyKreatures 9 ай бұрын

Hi there - not sure about how archival it would be with oil. Anyone else have an idea on this? I would test a piece of it with acrylic gel before sticking. I tend to use Nori paste for this which is a starch based glue. ❤️

I love this look. I've tried it with olive oil, but even after 10 hours it smelled like the oil and felt a little oily. Do you think I used to heavy of an oil? and I am assuming it won't dry so it will end up rancid? what about using coconut oil...will that get rancid smelling?

Coconut oil is good but have you also considered hand lotion? That worked really well for me. 🥰❤️

I tried this last night with a sheet of glossy paper from a magazine. I didn't use anything like oil, lotion, etc. I wound up with a grey piece of paper and a ton of dusty residue on my desk, which I presume was the ink or gloss that came off the paper. It was pretty awful and disappointing. No one seems to mention this - and perhaps using oil minimizes that result?

@KoolKookyKreatures 9 ай бұрын
