Thank you so much for doing the in English! I've been through a fee other videos and yours is the most informative by far. I'll be doing this as a college project as my cover for my Japanese stab binding.

Great! Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial!

[pussycat]

thank you for compiling this fun to watch, informative tutorial. what i like the most about this technique is that you do not need that many materials! it is so enticing that both the ink and the water have a mind of their own and the less you try and influence it the better. go with the flow kind of a thing.. which can be very therapeutic if you are a perfectionist like myself :). as a fellow european i would very much appreciate links in the description box where best to buy both the ink and the brushes, though...

[katedouglas]

Thank you!! So beautiful...and simple!

[annesways]

haha leuk dat je zo enthausiast bent! ik ga het ook proberen!

[jennuine]

It looks like it turned into a Willow Tree💜

[ruthwalton]

thank you for a wonderful demonstration and thank you for doing it in English too. I am very grateful as my Dutch is totally rubbish 😆

ps I think my mum might tell me off and laugh at me if I ask her. she is 85 and she has stolen my iron as I hate ironing. 😂
I will press mine in the trouser press 😂
😘

What are the types of brushes you are using? What are the names of each type and what brands do you recommend?

[johnhobbs]

Can someone please tell me the quantity of ox gall to water to create the second dipping solution in addition to the ink??

[J___]

This video is amazing! I'm doing this for 2 weeks so I'm trying a lot of things but my prints are grey, nice design but grey :( I will try the oxwall and maybe it will help me. What do you think about 100% cotton paper? I like that one because is more thick but don't know if works better or not. I hope you can see this! 😊

What do I do if the ink turns to smoky and doesn't spread immediately what is wrong?
