That was amazing. 🐈⬛😹
When you get it just the way you want, it’s tough not to smile. :)
Thanks, is more useful to have the real process rather than see just the polish video
So useful (for a beginner), many thanks for such great videos
What about insects with nori
Why in the world wouldn't you include links on where to buy these right here on UA-cam? without having to go to your website? EVERY other person that makes UA-cam videos with resources includes the links.
Lovely and so peaceful…
Isopropyl alcohol works ver well as well. :-)
You said you use just white regular printing paper. How many grams do you use? And it was rubbed iff ok, right?
And also what did you put on the block with the color? Is it nori?
Do you usually make the design right to the top a left edges (kento at the bottom) for the Mokuhanga)?

Thank you so much ... does it mould on the paper?
Love the book. I asked my grown children for it for my birthday. Read and re-read it. Right now it is on top of a Lino cut flattening it between prints.
This video was perfect for me. Mine had grown mold after 3 days of printing here in Arizona. So doing it all over again. Thank you
Thank you Laura!
Just a small note. "Baltic ply" is a birch plywood specifically from around the baltic sea region: Finland, Sweden, Estonia, etc. Good and consistent quality birch wood is easily available around the region. Also as solid wood.
Really helpful advice especially to this sinful ink tin digger. Note to self: scrape in future. Also your advice about using thicker plastic to replace the newly opened tin and possibly using WD40 too. Thank you very much for all your clear explanation and demonstration and handy hints which are all very enjoyable and valuable.
Hi Laura, thank you for the gift of these videos. I have been learning moku hanga through a combination of an independent study class at a local college here in Northern California, watching your videos, reading books about moku hanga, and a great deal of trial and error. Your videos have become increasingly helpful the more I have tried an errored. I am just about ready to print an edition of my first image. It won't be any great work of art but it will be a legitimate moku hanga print. I can't thank you enough for your generosity in making these videos available.
The piano playing is infuriating. It makes the video unwatchable for me.
Best channel about Lino! I feel blessed to have found you! ❤❤❤
Besides water, what are you adding to the pigment?
I admire your prints and work ethic
have a bunch of his prints from student days - he is just so good - glad for his success
Great ideas for reduction, thanks for your help!!
Good tutorial!
Great content but audio quality made it difficult to watch
Love! Love! Love! Your book. Like having notes from your excellent video series. Fabulous reference. Especially like that the print of Doris doing her quality control work was included. Thank you. You are such a gifted teacher.
dislike - sorry
What can I say? Awesome video, lots of useful informations, professional and likeable moderator. Thank you very much!
Hi Laura, in fact I was kinda confused about this blade when I got my first linocut set. Even though I did some linocuts in the meanwhile; I didn't find out. Your video just opened my eyes, merci beaucoup! 😀
I love your registration plate. How did you make it? Your video with mistakes is very helpful. Thank you.
Hey Laura, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! I have a question: How do you avoid your prints taking of the ink you stained your lino with? I always end up with unwanted stains on my prints no matter what i do :( I tried acylic inks, several markers and carbon
I have finally worked up the courage to try sharpening one of my tools (from the same set you're demoing with here, as yes they're cheap enough that I didn't mind messing it up) but I didn't mess it up and it's gorgeously sharp now! More practice required but eventually I will be able to do my Pfeil tools I am sure. Thanks as always!
That was a thoroughly enjoyable film. I’d love to see more, my Aunt lives near Newton Stewart, I need to visit I think x
Thank for making this film; such a positive inspiration on many levels. I feel a road trip and visit are in order!
we'd love to see you!
Laura love your videos. Have 2 questioned regarding your methods. First live in small village in Spain, can you give me the name of the Japones wood cutting you use and a place I can buy a set. Second once the cutting of piece is finished, the reason you recommend keeping the chines ink drawing on. Is it to permit adjustments to the piece? I use water based inks do you think I prepare the plate acrylics paint? Thank you for the time you impart to respond to my questions. Regards emile aparicio
Dankon!
Did someone add Esperanto subtitles to this? if so, that's so cool!
I have looked for essdee rollers and one blue roller is for textiles. it shall be very soft and takes up the ink very well. so the discreption is saying.
Just avoid the ones that have a very soft foam surfaces 🙂
oh you can be so glad your partner is such a talented artisan. I haven`t seen such a solid framing since decades. my grandmother had some pictures framed so solid. great work of both of you. thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much!
Oh my, what a stunning inspiration! Your work is exquisite! Thank you for this beautifully filmed demonstration of your work! Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Thank you!
I have asked for the spatula you use for colormixing in an other video. thanks for telling the seller. but at the online shop they don´t have them 6.1.2024. so sorry bc they look very comfortable bc of the ancle they have.
I enjoy your videos and I am glad you told us about the gofundme. could you tell me where you buy your plastik spatulas? here in austria I just can find a set of spatulas where one of this you use is in but I don´t need the others. I would love to buy more of this one you use for colormixing.
I enjoy to watch you at your inspiering work. some parts of the video, the plured ones, I don´t like bc the video is just longer without a story - for me. thanks for showing your work, it is so much to learn of. as an absolut beginner I see how far you can go with linocut, which is said it is for children to play around with printing. you show how great art can be done. maybe you can do a thanks button.I am sure there are more people outside they can´t avoid your art, but would spend some money for your work and your funding.
wow, I hope to manage such fantastic prints one day. if not, I enjoyd your video.😘
thanks to you! this print is so adorable.
I wish you were my professor for every single class i had in college. i have ADHD. sometimes it's so hard to pay attention to others when they talk. you have my attention from the v beginning and i didn't lose it at all.
I can't beleive that you haven't got more subscribers! 😳Thank You for the effort that you put into your channel.
Terrific video! Thank you so much for showing the mixing and rolling in real time. Live the rain too.
