How to make handmade papers for journaling, collage & mark-making, inspired by Momigami and Joomchi

Louise is delighted to present the technique of” ply paper”. The name refers to the layering process used to make plywood when several layers of veneer sheets of wood are layered and glued with the grain of the wood in alternating directions in each adjacent layer. This creates a thin yet strong wooden sheet.
The “ply paper” process incorporates layering to create strength with the addition of elements to add interest and texture.
Following on from the experimental work exploring the potential of the Japanese art of Momigami and the Korean art of Joomchi, Louise takes the process further.
In this video, Louise will show how she utilises the ply paper technique that she has developed from work inspired by the process and idea of Momigami and Joomchi. The ply paper technique allows a mix of substrates; paper, threads, fabrics, paints, varnishes and mark-making can all coalesce to provide differing attributes to affect the work. The result is beguilingly complex and yet has a wonderfully simple process. ENJOY X
A series of videos will progress through the beautiful possibilities this intriguing technique allows.

Beautiful build-up of techniques Louise. It's very rare to find someone on KZbin who is interested in bringing together textiles, paper and stitching in this exciting and visionary way. I have a lot of very fine silk threads, around 2 metres long, connected together at each end by a strip of sari silk. I've been storing the threads for around 15 years (some for over 20 years) for a moment like this. You have really inspired me to pull out all my 'stuff', (as my husband calls it) and start creating again.Thank you so much.

Hello Louise...I'm still here in the US watching during the day now 😊 when you are talking about cartridge paper, do you mean the kind of paper that goes in a home printer like inkjet, laser etc...? I was just gifted with huge boxes of the old fashioned roller computer paper circa 1980's. It has holes on the sides where in fit on whee!s to move it through the printer. You know I'm thrilled. You remain in this video, as always, a genius. Thank you.

[@LouiseJannetta]

No, the cartridge paper is more like the stuff you get in a good quality sketchbook, but any paper will provide a result I am sure. The more I experiment with this the more potential I find in the whole process. I am going to start a Facebook forum so we can all see and share our results, both failures and successes.

THIS IS SO FABULOUS!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this.... my mind is going in a million directions!! Do you use olive oil when you make your mami gami papers??

[@LouiseJannetta]

Thank you, glad you like it and thank you for watching. I have used nut oil rather than olive oil; I think nut oil dries more quickly. But I also thought the quick-drying poppy oil used in oil painting would work well. I don't use oil if I think I am going to add paint after the scrunching and folding process, as it may seal the paper and make it less able to take the next layer of paint applied. 😀

[@judysoedt916]

Love this technique. I can see myself trying this. I’m a little confuse on what type of glue to use. If you can help I would appreciate.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Judy. For this technique I mainly use cellulose glue if you type into your searchengine and request cellulose paste for paper-mache this cellulose pwder should come up. It is inexpensive and washable and often used by schools. Hope this helps.

[@user-rr9ix7tc5t]

What an inspiring video. Im so looking forward to trying out your techniques. I Iove sea scenes so see this could be very effective. Im going to try the netting withh slow stitch. Could be great for Christmas projects. Thank you againm My minds buzzing. One question cellulose paste is that wallpaper paste.?

[@LouiseJannetta]

Thank you for all your enthusiasm. Yes, the cellulose glue is the same as wallpaper paste but without any added chemicals. They add anti-fungal chemicals to wallpaper paste, which can actually damage papers. X😀

[@amyh.b.khalil8519]

Hello from Texas, USA. I am in awe of your amazing ideas. Your knowledge. I appreciate your videos so much! My question is, would a gel medium be useful instead of the cellulose glue for the process to create your papers?

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Amy, thanks for watching the videos, and so glad that you find them helpful. I used the cellulose glues as they remain pretty absobant to water when dry so it is possible to add pigment that can still soak into the materials eg. the papers or the fabrics. I think that acrylic bonding would work perfectly fine as a glue but may dry to an insoluble layer and may prevent the materials from absobing pigment so well. This wouldn't necessarily matter as you can always add more acrylic as you pigment medium it just has it's own specific attributes to take into consideration. Hope this helps and good luck with it all x

Hi Louise, I absolutely love this technique. I was wondering about the cellulose glue . Is it the same as wallpaper glue? Do you have a link for where to purchase it ? Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us all !!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi J. Thanks for watching and glad it is of interest. Yes the methyl cellulose glue is one of the main ingredients of wall paper paste but they can also contain other ingredients and may not be plant based (as is the case with methyl cellulose) Methyl cellulose is used in this instance as an reversible archival glue as it is not toxic, and not an allergen, and is resistant to bacterial growth. You can store it (mixed) in the refrigerator or freezer. However you can use wallpaper paste especially in any experimental work, try to keep to the methyl cellulose for anything important especially if it is to be contained in some way, eg a painting in a frame or a handmade book in a box. This is because if there are toxins in the glue they are trapped and may damage the art work. I get my methyl cellulose from Ratchford in Stockport, UK please see the link below. ratchford.co.uk/product/powdered-adhesives-pastes-methyl-cellulose-scmc-100g/ Hope all this helps and good luck with all your creativity X

Absolutely, really good idea. Something that is easily wiped down. The only thing is that you need to leave the tissue paper to dry on the sheet. If you try to move it when it is wet it may well tear. The papers are very delicate when they are wet. X

Just wondering. Could you soak the thread or yarn in the glue, and then make the desired designs using it on a separate bit of cellophane? Then let those designs dry and place them where you want them onto the cellulose glue dampened cloth and re-moisten the designs again with glue. Then finally proceed as you would normally.

Hi Ada, yes that works well and enables you to make complicated designes XXX😀

[@sherryleggett1612]

Do your fabrics and threads need to be cotton based?

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi no they can be other types so long as they respond to the glue you use. The main thing is if you want to add paint etc. If you add watercolour or if you want the materials to respond to the paint applied, eg. absorb the paint like a cotton does or fine synthetic or sit on the fabric like a plastic or thick synthetic. Good luck XXX hope this helps

[@annatronson5927]

Will the cellulose glue be strong enough to stick?! Some use PVA mixed with water!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi. I used the cellulose and it was good for papers. It's not so effective with fabrics and papers together. For these I use cellulose and a PVA bookbinding glue mixed in equal proportions. I use the more expensive bookbinding PVA as it doesn't produce the toxic gases that can rot the papers if they are kept in a closed container like a frame or enclosed within a book. I hope this helps xxx

@@LouiseJannetta This really helps xxx Louise”! Appreciate it! My last question, in this, is… do you use the cellulose powder to mix with water and then use half of this mix with PVA bookbinding glue?! I’m repeating your answer! It’s just I’ve never used the paste mix to make cellulose. And I hope the neighbourhood craft store sells it or I’ll order online.

WHAT KIND OF GLUE? I CANNOT CATCH IT. SORRY AND THANK YOU. IS THIS THE SAMEB GLUE USED FOR THE PAPERS COLLAGE?

[@LouiseJannetta]

I used methylcellulose, which is about the same as wallpaper paste but without chemical additives so is archival. I use methyl cellulose because it is a natural product that is water soluble, so I will take the paints applied really well. The PVA glues are generally non-soluble when dry and are not archival, all but the expensive book-binding PVA glues give off a chemical that if contained within a book or a frame (trapped) will rot the papers.. X Hope this helps, and many thanks for watching X😀 See the video - How to Prepare Cellulose Glue - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWS3lphpnrKnn6c

What type of glue do u use the paint on fabric tissue paper …

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi, I used cellulose glue but would now mix this 50/50 with a bookbinding glue if the project needs to be of archival quality and just a good PVA craft glue if this is for a project that is either more experimental or will not be boxed or framed. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching. Good luck with all your creative projects XXXX😃🍀

In the US, that's deli paper. In case anyone here doesn't know.

Thanks for the tip xx

Are you using string or actual sewing thread?

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Judy it's dishcloth or white cotton crochet yarn. I often separate out the threads of the yarn to make more delicate lines x

[@judyhyland682]

@@LouiseJannetta I used some regular cotton string….we shall see how it turns out! Lol x

[@LouiseJannetta]

@@judyhyland682 Yep anything that has the potential to take the pigments adds to the composition in their own unique way. X

Hi again Judy, I saw from your KZbin account that you have done work with pouring acrylics. Do you know anything about silicon oil? I believe it is used in acrylic pouring and I wondered if it was any good at making the tissue papers translucent. If it is then it would not interfere with any future applications of acrylic paint to the treated tissue papers.

Fascinating video, but it might be more effective with a voiceover. The materials you work with are quite noisy and they compete with you lovely soft voice.

Thanks for watching, and many thanks for the feedback. This was an earlier video, and I was and, in fact, still am not that good with the technological side. Things will improve XXXX😀
