Image Transfer

Pray tell. I beg of thee,

through this complexity,

of my fascination with

facets of imagery.

With photos I declared,

my fragmented interest dared,

to capture unprepared,

to deem these transfers shared.

To create the photo transfer as seen in the very first image,

I added cornstarch to nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol,

photo lift solution, liquid soap, window cleaning spray (some

other odds and ends) and perfume to a hard plastic bowl.

Then, I immersed a regular photograph into the solution for about

20 minutes. I was careful to make sure the photograph was well

covered by the liquid. When finished you may drain the liquid

or repeat the process with a new photograph.

After the immersing process had finished, I "sandwiched" the

photograph between two sheets of paper. Make sure the image

lies face down on the paper you plan to transfer it onto.

Thereafter, take a rolling pin or can in order to help

the image adhere to the transfer paper.

After the image appeared to be laying completely flat,

I used a little bit of heat to further coerce

the photograph onto the transfer paper.

Then I let the image sit awhile. Only when it was

good and ready, did I peal the backing off slowly

to behold the image transferred beneath!

When you have completed your own creation it can make a lovely

gift, photographic art piece, or stationary embellishment!!
