Use the Korean Art of Joomchi to Felt Mulberry Papers and Create Durrable, Sculptural Organic Forms

Рет қаралды 5,590

Жыл бұрын

Third and final part of the series.
This technique uses the particular qualities of mulberry paper to craft papers into a solid and durable fabric-like material. Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) is manipulated by hand, moulded and felted, rubbed and coaxed, causing the long fibres, typical of mulberry papers, to felt and adhere to each other. The paper becomes stronger the more it is worked.
The process creates strong, textural, textile-like papers that become elegantly smooth with use. The result can be six times stronger than ordinary Hanji papers, sewn into clothing, or used to make functional items such as wallets, containers and covers.
With scant information about this process, Louise follows advice to just give it a go. This exploration of the materials and process will be shared as a journey you can join. Hope you enjoy it and get to experience this technique and the fantastic handmade mulberry paper's unique qualities.
Link to a good supplier of the mulberry papers - these are not as wide as the papers I ordered from China, but they are good large papers. - action.metaffiliation.com/trk...

Goodness gracious Louise! What a huge amount of work and time this requires. You have an admirable commitment to exploring your process. It’s quite inspirational to see what you are creating.

Hi Ellie, thank you for the lovely comments. It is a bit of a commitment. However, I always think the journey is as good if not better than the destination. Sorry that your hands can't cope with this, but there are so many collage and paper-making techniques that do not strain your hands. Have you seen my Between the Lines Artists Journal? These are loads of collage techniques that might inspire. The video is titled - Handmade Artist's Journal Art Book - inspired by the Japanese art of Momigami & Korean art of Joomchi, and the link is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr6opZaYqNKsoHU.html 😀

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, it is a labour of love with lovely results though X. The papers you see at the end are still wet, so the colours are more intense. I used papers that were dyed with colour that bled when water was added, but I am sure you can even paint mulberry paper in a thin acrylic that would not be water soluble and so would keep its vibrancy.

Louise terrific results . Am patiently waiting a delivery of mulberry paper . You certainly went for it with those big pieces of paper . Would you add paint to brighten the finished piece ? I intend to involve my Husband in some of that rolling .

@LouiseJannetta Жыл бұрын

Hi Sue. The results were not quite what I had in mind, but I am just beginning to get to grips with all the possibilities this technique offers. I always wait a week or so before judging as I forget my expectations and start to see the piece for what it actually is. I think the main consideration would be the colours that I use, as the dyes definitely run in the process. Or I would get white mulberry paper and apply colour with acrylics. When these dry, they are permanent and won't bleed.😀 The other issue would be how roughly I felted. I would use bubble wrap and wrap the whole lot around a sturdy tube to give some resistance to the rolling. Good luck with your papers, and look forward to seeing the results. X

@LouiseJannetta Жыл бұрын

Thank you, and so glad you like them; much appreciated. I will frame some of the Jomchied pieces as I like them as they are. I will use others to cover books and make pressies, eg. bookmarks, cover boxes, little journals and wallets. Eventually, I fancy making 3D abstract sculptures, I suppose it is only limited by my imagination. Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy the process XX😃

@leighcreates Жыл бұрын

Hi Louise, love the outcome, it is stunningly beautiful, you would have got a good workout from all that rolling. You are really inspiring me to get experimental with papers and I'd love to have a go at Joomchi. Does it only work with mulberry paper or can it be done with another type of paper? It's hard to get hold of mulberry paper in Australia and expensive. I thought the use of the blind was brilliant, you are very resourceful.

@LouiseJannetta Жыл бұрын

Hi Leigh. Thanks so much 😊 It only works with mulberry paper, but you can momigami and crumple other papers with fantastic results. The long fibres, typical of mulberry papers, are what cause the papers to felt and adhere to each other. The other thing is when papers dissolve and their pulp breaks down, this can be recombined with other papers, but it isn't felting. Hope this helps. And yes, the papers are handmade and are a little expensive. I suggest using smaller sheets to get used to the process. I got my first lot from China - www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1142287054/pure-mulberry-paper-natural-colour?ref=yr_purchases But you can order packs of A4 multi-coloured sheets from sites on Etsy. Good Luck XX🍀😃😃

Which type of glue you use?

@LouiseJannetta Жыл бұрын

Hi. In this process you don't use glue. The idea is for the papers to felt together. Mulberry paper is made with long filaments that can felt or bond between the layers when agitated. X
