Create strong, fabric like papers for journals, mixed media and collage using the Momigami process.

In this video, Louise demonstrates methods inspired by the Japanese art of Momigami.

Momigami is the folding and kneading of mulberry papers to create a strong and durable paper that can be used to cover books, make clothing and for lanterns and parasols.

The methods used to transform the paper to make it flexible and strong. In this video, Louise uses 220gsm cartridge paper and acrylic paints to create a similar effect to the Momigami effect. The papers are transformed from crisp, tearable sheets into a wonderful unique substance perfect for mixed media and bookbinding. And collage. From this point, it is then up to your imagination to apply this technique to a vast variety of possibilities.

Thanks, Louise, for featuring a process with which I’ve been experimenting. I like the effect of using oil, but I’m not settled on a reliable method of adhering such pieces. I’m still considering other options, but at this point, I’ve had the best success with Lineco glue. Any thoughts? Always enjoy your videos!
