DIY Suminagashi - Painting on water - Floating ink - Marbling

[@rosannecuttitta1377]

One of the best tutorials I have found. Thank you so very much

[@michelle8967]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! You are very gracious to do it in English : ) I enjoyed this very much! lol I am now on a quest for all the items I need to follow the perfect instructions and hope to accomplish a little bit of your talent. Thank you again!

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much Michelle for this amazing comment. Wish you all the best while finding the materials you need. So happy this video could inspire you. You can do this .... my first prints did not work out that great ... practice makes perfect

[@MsAbishot]

So Beautiful! Thank you so much for your excellent and very informative video tutorial, and also for your English dialogue which is superb! 😍

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much for this amazing compliment

[@michaelbalderrama8739]

Awesome!

[@annesways9289]

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

[@loombicious]

Dank je wel :) Het is echt super gaaf om te doen, je kan er zoveel mee maken, ook voor scrapbooking is het heel leuk, maar ook om gewoon een print te maken :) Heel veel plezier, en niet opgeven ... het is echt even zoeken wat werkt voor jou. Zelfs de bak waarin je werkt (hoe groter hoe prettiger het werkt en hoe grotere prints je kan maken) en de hoeveelheid water is even uitzoeken. Heel veel succes. Je kan me altijd een foto sturen via mijn loombicious facebook pagina of mijn instagram account, ik zou het leuk vinden jou creatie te zien

[@tristanspear9889]

thank you for sharing I love this

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much Yvonne

[@ruthwalton3457]

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 😂 😘

[@J___92]

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! 😊

[@MsHappypeanut]

Leuk hoor!!!

[@loombicious]

Dank je wel Happypeanut (leuke naam) :)

[@leeojascastro711]

O gall can beOx gal can be replaced with dish soap?

[@johnhobbs621]

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

[@Kateoe]

I tried a calligraphy ink by Pelikan which I had at home anyway, but it just shows up as a very faint grey, not black like your prints seem to be. Thank you!

[@loombicious]

Hi there Kate, I ordered sumi-e chinese ink (this ink will have a high black pigmentation). Here is the link, from the netherlands: www.dekwast.nl/artikel/sumi-e-chinese-inkt-flesje ). The paper you use has to absorb the ink quickly (use inkjet paper for the best result). I also tried so many ink and paper before i found the right combination that works for me :) Hope you will find the right combination for you too

[@lindeclark65]

can you use Pebeo inks for this. Can you use acrylic paints?

[@emmyloumccoy1221]

does it have to have the e after semi-e ink?

[@loombicious]

That ink works the best for me, but feel free to try any other sort of ink :)

[@duffypark]

your ink is so black! what brand, please?

[@lynnstevens7313]

Suminagashi means "spilled ink"

[@loombicious]

Thanks for letting me know Lynn

[@lynnstevens7313]

Yes, you are right. It is definitely out there as both.

[@snowwhitetree8697]

this work with every ink???

[@seapr6]

No, I've wasted money on two different types of ink so far. Use the Chinese ink she mentioned.

[@loombicious]

This will not work with every ink. I tried so many already ;) Please check the description below all my video's for necessities. Chinese writing ink wil work best (sumi-e ink). Hope this will help you :)

[@snowwhitetree8697]

Loombicious thank you very very much!!! i am subscribet on your channel and love all this hobby stuff, really must try!!!

[@snowwhitetree8697]

it looks like a wonderful tree!!!

[@snowwhitetree8697]

it looks like a wonderful giant tree!!!

[@GustaVe_CR]

5:41 a fart??

[@seasonsofrenewal]

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

[@kellyilseman4847]

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

[@ruthwalton3457]

Loved the video 😊 I asked my mum to help me but she says as I am over 50 years old now I should be able to do it by myself lol 😂😍😘

[@silentspysd2001]

My sumi ink is sinking. Anyone knows why?

[@judichristopher4604]

BEAUTIFUL Thank YOU for such a great tutorial.

[@LuzCanoPintodosSantos]

I love what you are teaching. Thank you from Portugal.

[@AsiaZawadzkaLazuchiewicz]

Thank you for sharing, I was looking for it for a few years. My art teacher show us in class this technique many years ago and I forgot how to do it.

[@englishsweetpea]

Thank you! I have watched several Suminagashi videos now and by far you have given the best guidance and tips. You have inspired me with your beautiful prints. Thank you again.

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much

[@saltwalk]

Great! Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial!

[@Kateoe]

Can you tell me which brand of Chinese ink you use -there are so many different ones... Thank you!

[@loombicious]

Sumi-e ink :)

[@Lathilia]

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.

[@loombicious]

Thank you for letting me know. I try to show people creative things and do try to be informative and help others decide if they like to do this too! This way i can help prevent others to buy loads of materials that will not work as best, or alteast i hope i can help that way ;) Have fun doing this art form and have fun with your Japanese stab binding project

[@Hazartist]

Thank you so much for doing this in English!!! I love this technique. I am an ink junky.

[@loombicious]

Thank you, have fun with this technique :)

[@leeojascastro711]

Your English is great, don’t worry about you accent!

[@tristanspear9889]

sorry meant to add it is gorgeous

[@loombicious]

Thank you again

[@stephaniekoning3667]

als ik dit doe zinkt de inkt... heb je een tip? het is Chinese inkt. Maar ik gebruik afwasmiddel in plaats van dat Ox.

[@lindeclark65]

I did everything you suggested and while it makes the first ring, it does not continue to create rings?

[@Ola-ye9ur]

I am searching everywhere for an ox gall. Did you get it online? (I also love in the Netherlands) :)

[@katedouglas1590]

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

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much, very relaxing too :D Enjoy your day! xoxo

[@julianithewo6234]

Wat leuk dit! Maar zal de inkt niet uitlopen als je het omspoelt na het "drukken"

[@loombicious]

Nee hoor bij gebruik van inkjetpapier en de juiste inkt blijft het voor altijd zitten! Ik heb op de grond ook een bak met water staan, daar spoel ik het papier ook in af en zoals je ziet blijft de inkt perfect zitten (je kan je papier ook gewoon onder de kraan afspoelen, de inkt blijft zitten). De inkt die ik gebruik heeft een hele hoge pigmentatie waardoor het echt zwart is en blijft (deze inkt is te bestellen bij De Kwast, zie een link naar de materialen in de omschrijving onder de video). Daarbij is dus je papier heel erg belangrijk, neem papier dat inkt snel opneemt, niet te dik maar ook zeker niet te dun papier :) Hopelijk kan je hier wat mee? Groetjes Nancy

[@boojay111]

have you used thicker paper at all please? Should it be uncoated? Many thanks great video

[@loombicious]

Hi there Katie, I used 90 grams UNCOATED INKJET paper. Thank you

[@loombicious]

Again ;) 90 grams uncoated inkjet paper :) Hope this helps

[@sdouba]

Thanks so much for the inspiring video. You enthusiasm is so infectious that I am going to try it by end of day. Could share with me the paper make/vendor?

[@pussycat3982]

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...

[@loombicious]

Hi there Pussy Cat. The reason i love this technique so much is because i'm a perfectionist too ;) You can't mess this up you can't do this the wrong way and it will look amazing :) I could post links where i bought the materials, but i bought this in The Netherlands, not sure if they will ship to foreign countries. But here they are: - THE WEBSHOP: www.dekwast.nl/ - INK: www.dekwast.nl/artikel/sumi-e-chinese-inkt-flesje - OXGALL: www.dekwast.nl/artikel/ossengal-60-ml-artikel-031 - BRUSHES: www.dekwast.nl/artikel/sumi-e-penseel-bamboe You need inkjet paper or paper that will suck up the ink realy fast like rice paper. Not to thick like cardboard. But not to thin either!

[@pussycat3982]

thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I am definitely going to give it a try

[@pussycat3982]

the most expensive thing will presumably be the addition that i came up with, which is one of those japanese name stamps. you know, the red ones :)?

[@loombicious]

Never heard of these stamps b4 ;) That's why i love Google :p They do look awesome but are quite expensive indeed. Have fun being creative

[@pussycat3982]

everyone in japan has their own highly official name stamp. it serves as official signature and is therefore mostly kept under lock and key. i thought about getting one with my first name and that's that :). thanks again for replying, loombicious!

[@youfish]

?any one saw the bear ?

[@loombicious]

Nope ... where did you see it?

[@youfish]

the art , if u closed ur eyes a lil bit and look at it , u can see legs a his head , its like a baby bear !

[@aiyusabandonedaccount6924]

Beautiful tutorial♡

[@clarewillison9379]

Thank you for recording in English xx

[@dirceuborgesborges6857]

I am Brazilian ...... You have these courses in Portuguese?

[@loombicious]

Hello :) Sorry only english and dutch video's for this art form.

[@twistedrosegaming5614]

Love this! Thank you 😊

[@LuzCanoPintodosSantos]

So nice! I am going to try!!!!

[@jennuine9125]

It looks like it turned into a Willow Tree💜

[@jean-pierreavanzini7582]

Thanks ...

[@aiyusabandonedaccount6924]

Beautiful tutorial♡

[@loombicious]

Thank you so much

[@Hazartist]

.....and it is awesome!

[@parceroo]

How you make to float the ink? Is it oily ink?

[@loombicious]

Because it's sumi-e ink (chinese writing ink) it will float :) Not sure why though, don't know the ingredients.

[@lynwall154]

i really like it that to me it look like a black tree.

[@loombicious]

Thank you Lyn Wall

[@emanjadjanjastore5026]

Can i use a regular ink for writting?

[@loombicious]

You need special Sumi-e ink otherwise the ink will not float :D

[@shadowvvolf323]

Love it!

[@loombicious]

Thank you Amanda :)

[@amandatran4207]

Loombicious your welcome

[@carlpen850]

But is it art?

[@loombicious]

Hi there Carl, i do think it is art ... or could be art

[@elfiewilkins6639]

Carl Just curious. If not art or craft what is it? Japanese people have been doing Suminagashi for centuries, they all believed it was art.

[@lindeclark65]

what are you saying?....what is the substance you use as the alternate ink brush?

[@loombicious]

Please read the description below the video. Sumi-e ink!
