Image transfer take 2












This is actually the first image transfer I did. Didn't really work all that well, as you can see on the left ( it was the same image as on the piece of shrink plastic at the bottom) so I was on the point of throwing it away...except I've never been very good at that! So I kept it, and added some more bits and pieces. I quite like it now...

Image transfer


I've been trying image transfer for the 150th time - (thanks to Claudine Hellmuth) this is done with an acrylic paint dabber, and an inkjet printer. I'm told it works better with laser prints or photocopies - I think that's because the inkjet ink doesn't seem to be waterproof, and when you rub off all the backing paper, it's hard not to smear all the ink too.
Having said that, it makes a nice grungy effect.
(it's Aragorn, btw, swoon, swoon.)
