\help... going thru withdrawl

Okay, Judy. I'll help your withdrawal with a question. I'm new to polymer
clay. I'd like to do a transfer onto the clay. I saw a program on TV where
matt finish photo paper for ink jet was used to make the transfer. I also
think gin or alcohol was used but for the life of me, I can't find the
instructions on the web. Can you or anyone else help jog my memory on how
this is done?

Hi, Anna! If you saw the gin transfer application on tv recently, it may
have been on HGTV's "That's Clever" craft show. I am including a link to
the show that was on last week.

You can also go to their website and do a search of "gin" and "transfer" and
a couple of old Carol Duvall Shows will pop up with similar applications for
polymer clay and gin used in a couple of different projects.

Have fun!

the absolute BEST way to do transfers that I've found is with Epson Glossy
Photo paper--not the matte, which also works but you have to soak and remove
all the little clingy bits of paper fiber. With the Epson Glossy (girl with
sunflower and hat on front of package) you coat the image with liquid
clay--all the brands work--and bake, then cool and peel off from the edge.
Comes off all in one easy slick piece, like a window cling or decal.

Hi Sarajane...

That method of transferring sounds like fun. I have the liquid clay but not
the paper. Thanks for explaining it to me.

Sarajane -

Do you lay the coated photopaper on a clay substrate or do you bake on
the paper and apply the transfer to the clay substrate?

you can do it either way. If you make a decal and put it on another piece
later, you need to stick it on with more liquid, and sometimes bubbles
happen. If you stick the raw liquid/paper face down on a clay piece and
transfer direct it occassionally has missed spots. Ya gotta play with it,
see which works for the purpose you have in mind. The decals could be WAY
cool on lampshades, etc.
