my transfer print

     In class we made a transfer print of our own, we used a project we made this year. We created a watercolor piece and used that as our background to transfer our piece onto. We printed out our project we wanted on our transfer I choose a part of my panorama project I made on photoshop.

    To start making our transfer we used mod podge to apply the printed project onto the water color paper face  down. After placing the paper on the water color I used a squeegee to roll out any bubbles and even out the mod podge. The mod podge transfers the ink from the paper onto the water color paper when the mod podge dries. Because the mod podge dries clear its okay to get some around the paper onto the watercolor.


     When the mod podge dries you have to use your fingers and rub water on the back. This will lift up the paper and leave the ink. You have to rub until all the aper rolls off and the ink left is smooth when you rub it. If its not smooth add more water and rub harder until it is smooth.

     Depending how much time you spend rubbing the paper off and how hard you rub will depend how long the project will take you. I finished  mine in about a week and I'm very happy with the end result and I like how it looks with the paper around the edges.  I learned alot about printing and how you can display your work in other ways then online and you can add more when you do things like transferring to make it more unique.  Now I think I will print out my projects and add something to them with the transfer process or play around with other things I find.
