MOMIGAMI - My way of doing the papers

[@kandicearndt6187]

Beautiful! The colors become much more beautiful and richer after the kneading of the paper! Thanks so much!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you and I will try to.

Ive been doing momigami for years… but have never painted the paper first… ill have to try that next! However, for those who add oil or lotions, keep in they all have limited shelf life and will, in time go rancid and stink up the piece ………. Thats why i use Mineral oil because it never go rancid.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Go for it and thank for for the info

What is Minerl oil? 🤔

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

@@bleu1104 think is was supposed to say mineral oil. And I think its an oil that don’t get rancid.

I love this way of doing momigami, I have not done it before because I didn’t like the idea of using oils or lotions, so thank you this is perfect ❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You’re welcome, like you I don’t like to get oil on my fingers

[@dianamatthews824]

I just received an early birthday gift from my son and saved the beautiful gold craft wrapping paper to include in some art and your video about momigami is perfect timing. I learned about it in lockdown from the channel of British artist Louise Jannetta and made some from a few types of paper. I just made a first small piece and it will be beautiful to use in some collage. Thank you for the reminder of this technique!

You’re welcome. I know Joe of her work and I like it

Wonderful Lisbeth thank you so much from Tasmania .. I’m really enjoying your KZbin’s and story .. very cool creative you are 🎉

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you very much

[@lynnettehall8615]

Just found your lovely blogs, I have only ever used the technique of just scrunching up the napkins without any oils or lotions. I will definitely be trying to paint the paper with acrylic first. Thank you so much for sharing your technique.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Welcome here and good luck with your papers

[@giuliettawebber6772]

I hate cream on my hands as well! Glad l have finally found someone else with the same problem!!!! I do what you did with the black ink, l do with gold paint on a flat brush on dark momigrami paper it looks beautiful.l liked the colours you used on the papers.love from ltaly ❤

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thank you. Yeah no oil or cream on my papers or hands 🙌

[@tomasinaconti4140]

I love making Momigami too. You can use any lotion, oil or even hair conditioner to make the paper softer and more like fabric. I believe technically it does become fabric. It will also deepen the colors and some papers become translucent. ❤️

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks for the info, I am sure others will use your idea but I don’t like greasy papers and oil on my hands.

[@tomasinaconti4140]

That’s why I shared the info for others. And oily hands is yuck for a lot but lotion and hair products don’t feel as slick 😁

[@susanasilva2737]

This was what I needed. An easy way to do momigami. Thanks for share ❤

A most interesting video, Lisbeth. I've taken notes and will sit this afternoon and create! I am going to enjoy this transformation of the paper. Thank you.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Go for and enjoy the process, you’re welcome

[@barbaragreve4957]

Thank you so much for this demo. I'm going to try it! Love the papers!

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Go for it, thanks

[@idalinadasilva8203]

Hello from Toronto, Lisbeth thank you for your Momigami technique. Usually, I use coconut oil, just a tiny bit on my hands to mush the papers. I let it dry and then painted the papers. Next time I will try the way you do it. My hands get stiff as well, I have Ostearterithis. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks and good luck trying my way

[@kindcreative1]

Thank you for this demonstration! I pulled a few papers from magazines that are sturdier (non-shiny) pages and I'm hoping that I get a good result. I also really liked the ink trick that you showed on the wax paper. I ♥ wrinkled paper

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You’re welcome

[@catincj1952]

As always, i love your work, and will use this idea today…. Its just what i need for a collage piece in a book I’m working on Thank you!

[@joanna45419]

Love the papers. I knew your papers were special. Please show us more painted paper techniques.

Thank you, I mostly use a gel plate for making interesting papers, there is a playlist on that subject

Could you use a gelli plate to give the papers a coat of paint? I have done this spraying the paper with water and glycerine. It was quite thick brown paper and it turned out like leather! Never knew the name. 😊⭐️🇦🇺🦘

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

You can do this so many different way, this is just the way I do it. But of course you could use your gel plate. I my case I just like the painted papers better, even though I love my gel plate

I use hand lotion that is non-greasy and fragrance-free and it works beautifully.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Take care if you are unfortunate it can rancid

[@qso3566]

@@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst You know what, I had NO idea that can happen, and I just looked it up and lotions, once they reach the expiration date can be subject to bacterial and fungal growth. Wow, I did not know that. So now I wonder if I should discard all the papers that I have turned into "fabric" using lotion. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Thank you for the info.

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

@@qso3566 if you want to use something, use mineral oil. I would try to use them for my own things, but nerve in something you sell .

[@AnnaJezequel]

I use gardening gloves to crumble the paper, cause it really hurts😉

[@lisbethdegn-dragenkunst]

Thanks for the advice, others may use your idea, but my hands are fine without 😊
