You can do this satisfying art project at home with only a few materials and it's really easy to do! Suminagashi is an ancient Japanese art form that's over 2000 years old, and it's such a fun and mesmerizing activity.

the materials you need:
- water
- ink (India or Sumi ink)
- dish soap
- paintbrushes
- paper

I also had fun experimenting to see if I could transfer the neat ink designs to other materials like wood, DIY paper and clothing! Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great day and I'll see you on the next project :)

    So basically the ink spreads out into the water, and the soap breaks the bond of the water, but it only happens in the area the soap is in, so since the water away from the soap still has a bond, the ink is pulled towards the water with the bond, this only happens at the surface and not below it If I got something wrong, or missed something, tell me in the replies
  • Whenever you upload, I get so overexcited and I have a reflex of instantly liking your videos specifically. It's amazing how you try something new, and your not trying to be the best. You don't boast like most youtubers, but you do everything for fun:)

  • This guy really needs to get 1million subs because he is an amazing YouTuber❤❤❤
  • @billy44talent
    Love your refreshing take on life. Your vids are so cheery and fun. Reminds me of my childhood when everything was fun and exciting. You have inspired me to try something creative just for the sake of being creative
  • @david44360
    I recently discovered this guy, and I find his videos super relaxing and inspiring. It's amazing because the things he does are theoretically things anyone could try themselves!
  • @Qwerkybsbl

  • @JustAJemm
    I just found you while scrolling in my homepage, I saw the video when you tried to grow tomatoes out of a subway sandwhich and after that Im now subbed and watching your vids. Im now in love with your content 😂
  • @Tsskevik
    You never fail to bring me joy with your videos!
  • @radicalrid3r
    This was super cool to watch! I want to try this now! You’re always in such a good mood and that puts me in a better mood!
  • Bro this is so cool it looks like inside of an geode it has patterns like a wave nice work dude keep up the paste❤
  • @Rysterio
    I wonder how it would work with different colors of ink, it would probably look pretty cool :)
  • @christhebirb
    This is what I was concerned about when I saw the DIY paper project :) I'm pretty sure that factory-made paper has some funky additives which keep it together when exposed to water. Nevertheless, great video! I love how every project is so simple, fun, and easy to follow!
  • @SAMIAMFNX
    thanks for sharing this kind of art I would have never seen this keep up the great work❤
