Okay, it is a go for Tuesday Tutorials and I'm working on the next Altered Book technique.
I've not done any transfers before and these seem relatively easy although I am wondering why one wouldn't just cut out the image and adhere it with a gel medium to the page. White backgrounds would give a transparent look and that would certainly be worthwhile. Bulk might also be an issue. The shine could be dulled with some matt gel medium.
The images are limited to the clear packing tape width but apparently old clear contact sheets work. They are placed right sides down and then burnished. I must admit that keeping strips of the tape free and not attached to itself, obects and even other images is a bit challenging.
I burnished away in all directions.
These are all the images burnished and facing upwards. I burnished them on the front just for good measure as well as the back.
I dropped them into warm water. They curled right away. and I began to rub the paper off the tape which was pretty easy.
Here they all are drying on a paper towel. I shall be finding places for them in my Leaves Altered book and my calendar journal. But not today.
That is all I got done today as I have small and busy house guests! I also have my DD suggesting searches for glass door knobs. I think we need to get the Rooster searching Kijiji now that he has finally found his truck and doesn't know what to do with his computer time!!! LOL I wonder if he needs a tutorial? ;^)
