<h4>Method1 : Liquid emulsion</h4> | |||
With a liquid silver emulsion applications can be made to a variety of surfaces such as tile, glass, pottery, wood, canvas, stainless steel and coated metals. Brushing, dipping, and spraying are among the techniques employed for applying the emulsion to three-dimensional surfaces. | With a liquid silver emulsion applications can be made to a variety of surfaces such as tile, glass, pottery, wood, canvas, stainless steel and coated metals.

<h4>Method2 : TRANSFER IMAGE</h4> | |||
We have a ton of slab stone in our yard, and as soon as I came across a few pieces that were particularly thin I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I also have a few pictures I have been meaning to display, so this project was a good way to finally get around to displaying them. | |||
After a lot of research I found that there are many ways get pictures onto stone, each with varying effects. I tried out three methods and eventually went with one though I will talk about the the other two as well. | |||
HOW TO TRANSFER IMAGES WITH INKJET OR LASER PRINTS | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
<h4>How to make it?</h4> | <h4>How to make it?</h4> | ||
Here is a breakdown of how I transferred the images. | |||
http://www. | 1. Clean the rock | ||
2. Gesso is not necessary for the transfer here, it just adds tooth and depth. You can use watered down white paint. Let it dry. | |||
3. Use a "Splendid Blender" pen by Chartpak. Other blender pens don't have the same chemical composition, and won't work. Check out "Splendid Transfer" on my sidebar for more info on the pen. | |||
http://www. | 4. Make a laser, toner based copy of the image you want to use. Ink jet copies don't work. | ||
5. Place the copy face down on the rock. | |||
6. Rub the pen over the image, while keeping the paper stable. If it slides around, you'll get a blurry image. Press hard till the image transfers. | |||
7. Make sure you have lots of ventilation when using the pen. | |||
