Try glycerin and water. Soak the card with water and a few drops of glycerin. Massage in the water, wad up the card. When it dries, do it again. It will be as soft as an old purse. You have to use very little glycerin. If you use too much the paper will never dry. Glycerin is hydrophilic, meaning it loves water and will hold onto it forever. I used a cereal box for the best leather. You can add inks or dyes at any time.

Thanks very much for the tip, I will definitely give this a go. Also thanks for the reminder that glycerine is hydrophobic. I have been experimenting with so many products that this issue had slipped my mind, so many thanks.😀

I love momigami but havent used shoe polish or card before . I put a tiny dab of sandal wood oil in with the mineral oil so the momogami makes your journal smell lovely.

Ok, I watched this last night (while drifting off to sleep), and re watched now. I kept thinking Konnyaku, konnyaku,,,,, why does that sound familiar (?) Because it's Konjac (Glucomannan ), and I have some in the cabinet for cooking. It's what Miracle Noodles are made of. You can also get it in powder form, sometimes in capsules as a dietary supplement. It has thickening properties for gravies/soups, and is used in non gluten baking/cooking. Also, something else came to mind that you might like to try. Clear cake shoe polish, mixed with cheap mica powders, or eye shadows. Here in the US we have dollar stores, I assume similar to your pound shop (?) I got some mica powder eye shadows from there. Or you could smash up some eye shadows from a pallet. I cut the shoe polish into 8 wedges, and scooped out a wedge to mix with the color powder. I bet if you had gold or bronze powders, you could lightly go over the top of the crinkles with your finger, then buff the polish for a slight gilded look to some of your book covers. 😀

@cherylreid5768 2 года назад

Thank you Louise for sharing this wonderful technique and your innovations. The results are fantastic. I wonder what would happen if you heated the shoe polish very slightly with a hair dryer after applying it. Perhaps it would sink into the surface of the card and make it even stronger. I guess I’ll have to try! Love your videos and your enthusiasm.

@LouiseJannetta 2 года назад

So glad you are finding the channel useful and I hope you have a great time with all that they might inspire. All the best and thank you so much for watching Louise X

@angelinamichelle8474 2 года назад

I thoroughly enjoy your experiments with paper! Is right down my alley. I was especially keen to see non-oil momigami as I agree with the oil inhibiting usefulness. Mine still oily after a months. Admittedly very little sun but takes way too long. Thanks again from Australia

@LouiseJannetta 2 года назад

My mineral oil is drying slowly. I've put it in a sunlit window. But the shoe polish with card has a fantastic effect x really looking forward to putting it to good use x

@gracejones2831 Год назад

Is the Konjac powder similar to Tapioca starch? I heard about using tapioca starch to Momigami mulberry paper. Has anyone tried that?

@lynhysainty2444 2 года назад

@valeriesmith3388 Год назад

Is it strong enough to make a hand bag out of it? Very pretty.

@LouiseJannetta Год назад

Hi Valerie, it would work if you backed the momigamied card with fabric, calico or something similar. It is only card and will wear much quicker than leather; however, I made a journal cover with it, and if you polish it, it seems to take a lot of punishment. X😀

@howlingwind1937 Год назад

You can also get clear shoe polished, if you got clear shoe polished and some pigment powder, you can make the polished any colour then. Cheers!

@LouiseJannetta Год назад

You could use bees wax or clear shoe polish x

@jolene9528 Год назад

I’ve tried similar things. Want to try konnyaku. Can you please tell me the measurements for mixing. Thank you!

@LouiseJannetta Год назад

Hi Jolene thanks for watching and I hope this bit of info is helpful - Konnyaku starch. The starch is traditionally used in the preparation of mulberry papers for momigami. This is not a sticky adhesive starch. This helps in the preparation of papers for use as fabrics as they will not become sticky when they are moistened. (These fabric-like materials can be wiped down with a dampened cloth but not washed.) Konnyaku starch is made from konnyaku flour, a product derived from the starchy root of Amorphophallus konjac. The recipe will depend on the Konnyaku that you purchase. I didn't go for the artist and bookbinding powder as it was so expensive, there are so often inexpensive alternatives. I used Konjac Gum Powder for the leather look exercise and it worked really well. There are instructions for use on the packet but basically you mix the powder with a little cold water to form a smooth paste and then add water to the desired thickness. It is very like wallpaper paste and can be thinned if required. Also it is best made the day before you need it so that it can be left over night for all the starch to dissolve. I will put a link to purchase this product in the description below the video. Hope this all helps and good luck with all you creativity X

@techne9 Год назад

start with 5 grams konnyaku in 3 cups water. If you let it sit overnight you don't have to spend so much time stirring/wisking. If you think it's too thick, add water to aim for something like maple syrup/ thin gravy. You'll learn what viscosity you work best with pretty quickly. You want the paper to get wet but not dripping. I was taught to use 2-3 applications of konnyaku, drying and ironing between (the paper soaks up the gel more quickly if the deep ridges are ironed out).
