Alternative Suminagashi Techniques Part 4- Let's get messy with the marbling technique!

- This is not a traditional approach to suminagashi...quite the opposite actually!
For starts, the papers are not washi paper- although I do use a nice light cotton rice paper at one point. For the most part my papers are from the pantry and I am getting great results using teabag paper and coffee filters.
I even try a few strips of drywall tape!
They were first dyed using natural dyes- Avocado, tea, and black beans (see Part 2 for a good dye bath session).
Then (in part 3) I treat the papers with an alum wash to help make the blacks a bit more crisp
!In place of traditional sumi ink I use an India ink by Pebeo THAT I LOVE!
The water bath gets pretty muddy and murky but I keep going! I also don't use a surfactant as many do as I simply find it hard to find one over here in Italy...such as Photoflo by kodak...although I am still looking for it!
Be sure to make it to the end to see all the results after they have dried! They have so much potential for your art or scrap journal or mixed media art project!Enjoy!
I love the black. And the different types of paper. Lovely!
Thank you so much! I love the black too!🙌
Thank you for this video!The coffee filter papers remind me of fans, before the paper has been glued to the ribs.
I am so glad you liked it! And yes they do look like fans! I have a little project coming up with them here soon I can't wait to share...they will take on a new life and use...stay tuned!🙌
Loving the results. Some beautiful papers (-: Marion
Thank you so much Marion! So glad you enjoyed this one!🙌
Wow, wow, wow Auria! I love this kind of zebra pattern, so beautiful!
I love it too Anette! 🙌 You could say I'm a little obsessed with it actually!😉 Thanks for watching!
The papers turned out great. Stunning results. I'd love to find some of that sheer gauzy rice paper. I have some tea bags on the way, thank you Amazon. LOL Keep those videos coming!
That is so awesome Patti!!! Im so glad you liked my messy little tutorial and you gave it a shot! 🙌😅 I have some more videos in the works...I hope to be posting them soon!
I'd love to know which tea bags you bought. We decided to cut up tea bags that have been in our closets for ages and use the tea bags for sumigashi and gelli and use the old tea for making dyes.
@@EB-kv8jy I'm trying these -- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G8XORG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@EB-kv8jy The brand Auria shows on her video I can only find from Aus or NZ. Hope these works.
@@EB-kv8jy I will have to look back over the video but I would say almost any black tea would work! But you do need 20 or so tea bags to get some darker results.....
Awesome! Can’t wait to try! Thank you so much!
Im so glad you have found this video helpful! Hurray! That is precisely what I was hoping for!
thank you. very useful.
I'm so glad you got something out of this...makes my day!🙌
This was such an enjoyable series to watch this morning! Just Incredible! I love your process & the end results are Stunning! Thankyou for Sharing! 🤗
I'm so glad I got your day off to a great start! I hope you get a chance to try this out in the near future!
I hope so too! I wanted to try it straight away but I’m definitely looking forward to trying it!
@@eaupoetique I just managed to upload (properly) the next part in the series …working with coloured acrylic paint and ink…I think you will enjoy watching the rest of that one too!🙌🤗
this is so incredibly cool!!! very inspiring! i'm not sure if i'll dye the papers, (that seemed like a LOT of work), but i do think i'll try marbling with ink and surfactant (and alcohol) on different types of paper. thank you so much for sharing your creative process.
Yes, dying the papers is a bit of a process Alice! But I hope that doesnt scare you from giving suminagashi a shot! I would just be sure to treat your papers with a little alum wash first...it really does help the ink set in the paper better. Also you may want to check out my other video with the collored high flow acrylic paints...those work really well too!🙌
oh yes, i've been watching ALL of your videos and loving them all. (and subscribed). and i will definitely do the alum wash. thanks!
whaou I love papers so it s Eden for me
That's nice to know!🙌Ill be sharing more papers etc here soon so stay tuned!
Hello! I'm now making my first suminagashi. Give me advice please! I ordered marbling ink, but it fades after 2-3 minutes. This is fine? Or should the ink not sink at all?
Hello there! I have never used traditional marbling inks for suminagashi. I'm afraid you might need to treat the water first with a marbling thickener to make those work properly. I wish i could give you more advice but I have never used them! For suminagashi you will need black sumi ink, Chinese caligraphy ink, black india ink by Windsor and Newton should work- and my favorite is by the brand Pebeo. I also use high flow colored paints by Golden- they give nice bright colors. And yes they will drop to the bottom at times, and get messy but I just keep going. I've noticed the messier the water, the better! Hope this helps!🤗
@@auriabohn Thank you very much for your answer! Now I bought plain calligraphy ink, but it fades immediately. I'll also try acrylic like yours. Thanks again!🌞
@@РоманаГорькая ohhh I hope those work better for you! Don’t forget to treat your papers with an Alum wash first as described in an earlier video…it helps a lot!🙌💕
Great demonstration! What brand gauzy rice paper brand were you using? It’s beautiful.
I bought it from a small store here in Florence- unfortunately, they have never given me a strong answer on this! They just call it "Carta Japonese" in Italian, or -Japanese paper. They also informed me they are not reordering it so I better go grab some more! Thank you for the reminder!
Auria, I'm curious about how you dry so many sheets of paper at once. You mentioned you let it dry in a stack and then slowly pull each apart. Is that correct? Do you hang them on a clothesline or lay them out on a huge table?
I'm so glad you reached out with this question! Unfortunately when I uploaded the natural dye video, the last five minutes didn't upload...and that is where I explain all this! I will be uploading a follow up to your questions soon here. but the short answer is yes! I hang then in small group from a clothes line, wait for them to dry (it could take a day or tow depending on your climate) and then I slowly peel them apart. I found having a little patience goes a long way. If i were try to separate them all when wet, they would be a ripped to shreds in a not time! Hope this helps and stay tuned for the video that goes over this...also it shows all the pretty results!
Lovely. Thank you for your quick response. I look forward to more videos. Still playing with Foraged and Found. Dyed my first papers with black beans. Now they are sitting under a pile of books to flatten. Interesting to see how the color is taken up differently by different papers. You are magically opening doors into more creativity. Many thanks. @@auriabohn
I hear you on the pile of books! My house is scattered with those piles!@@EB-kv8jy
@@EB-kv8jy I also forgot to mention the follow-up video is up! It shows where i hung my papers and the end results...they turned out really pretty !
That's how Zebras are made.
Exactly Fiona! And marbled ice cream!😂🙌
Distilled water! ;o)
YEEEEEEEEESSSSS!😂
Hi Patti! Nice to bump into you here! 😉💫
@@eaupoetique Birds of a feather! 🙂
This last one wasn’t so fun to watch… Not sharing your obsession with black, plus the big blob of black ink on the bottom, which blocked the view, are two reasons for losing interest. The whole process was much more interesting with COLOR! (As well as using the piece of plexiglass in order to SHOW us how each one turned out ; as opposed to the unnecessary rinsing/non-view!) You should also know that you can barely be heard, each time you move away from the mic, though you do keep on talking!
Ouch! And I'm sorry, and I get it! I 100% agree with your feedback here and honestly appreciate it! This is a new adventure for me over on UA-cam and it will take a me few videos to get some of these annoying kinks out (audio, angles etc) ...there is so much to learn and improve. I think the color tutorial was much better too - I was able to tweak my audio a bit in the editing that time and the fact the inks stand out against the water really helps. I definitely have my eyes and ears on the details. Trust me when I say they bug me a lot too! That said , I hope you hang in here with me- I've got soooo many things I cant wait to share!
Also, you are welcome to check out the first in the series to get a little more info on why i love the blacks etc. Thanks again!
@@auriabohn: I’m too tired to re-watch your first video, but don’t recall any explanation for why you “love the blacks”… Even if I did, MY viewing experience has nothing to do with YOUR esthetic preferences! In my own decades of Art-making, I’ve established some preferences of my own, and they aren’t going anywhere… For moi, black is desirable only in the context of drawing, in graphite or ink, whether it be cartooning or graphic art/illustration. I don’t much use printer’s ink, but when painting, use almost no black-or white for that matter-as both can lead to muddiness in color mixing. I “get” that you love black for this Suminagashi process, but for me, the process is just not that interesting to watch, without additional colors. I DO appreciate your non-traditional approach, however!
@@auriabohn: Thank you for your refreshingly honest (and gracious) response to my feedback, Auria… (Auto-correct tries to change your name to Adria.)
I’m confused about your video output, as your “about” page says you joined a year ago. Have you only made six vids? (I have made zero videos, but have watched many in the past six years, due to disability and lots of down-time ; something I really hope to improve, so I can get back to being visually creative.)
Anyhoo, it occurs to me that perhaps what you need is a master check-list at the start of each video, so that you leave nothing out? That way, when it’s time to edit, ALL of the necessary elements (for the viewers) will be there… Of course, it’s a learning curve, and there is a lot to learn ; someone must have written a book by now..?
@@nanwilder2853 It certainly is tough to get going under any circumstances....especially if things are physically challenging. I hope you get back to art-making soon. I started my channel many months ago and uploaded videos privately to a newsletter. But this past month i just decided to jump in and give it a go at making videos for a public audience. It is a big learning curve...but I have been reading "the books" as you say 😊! I'm usually quite the perfectionist but this time I didn't want perfectionism to stop me...hence all the annoying stuff! But my feet are wet now and I hope to keep the ball rolling! Thanks again for your perspective!
