| <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.

| <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>
| |
|
| |
| <h4>How to make it?</h4>
| |
| Here is a breakdown of how I transferred the images.
| |
| 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.
| |
| 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.
