I appreciate link lovin'. :D<br /><br />I'm rubbing like a crazy woman, testing out how the transfers work on plain paper, craft paint, Golden acrylic paint (aka, good paint), Golden's Gesso, and Matte Medium. I'm going to see what happens when I leave the transfer alone, when I smudge it with my finger, and when I paint over it with matte medium.<br /><br />I have noticed that it's slightly easier to get the transfer off of the transparency on the paints, than it was on plain paper. I think the acrylic must grab the ink, aiding the transfer. I guess this could be called a "Dry Transfer", since I'm actually employing the same method Leslie Riley uses, only everything is dry instead of wet.Curiouser Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415383979985169083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042475078065700800.post-35600201101294078872009-06-24T19:06:27.604-06:002009-06-24T19:06:27.604-06:00I'm loving this blog, girl!!

I hope you'll try some different ways, and tell us how it's going. It's so cool when it works, but it can take so much practice to master a technique.<br /><br />Excellent question, about the smudge factor. I got so excited that it worked that I didn't even think about how well it would incorporate in art. I'm doing some experiments with it right now, so I'll be doing another post about it. It does smudge some when I rubbed it with my finger. I'll show you how much in my next post, along with the other stuff I'm testing with these. :DCuriouser Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415383979985169083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042475078065700800.post-10879988979547572009-06-19T16:50:41.272-06:002009-06-19T16:50:41.272-06:00And how did you find the image on your paper?

I have just been doing the packaging tape transfer because it works. The trouble is that you can't add anything over the top.Zomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409590914621865847noreply@blogger.com
