Here is a breakdown of how I transferred the images.<br> | Here is a breakdown of how I transferred the images.<br> | ||
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 Transfer gel or "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. | |||
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 Transfer gel or 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 Transfer gel or pen. | |||
