transfers
Hi all,
I was reading about transferring images to clay on the Glass Attic website. While there's a *ton* of useful info there, I was wondering if anyone could provide something more basic; along the lines of "Step 1 - do this. Step 2 - do that. Step 3 - etc." I have a color inkjet printer. Can I use images printed out from that? Thanks, Carla |

My take on it, if I've understood all the instructions I've read. I have
the liquid clay, but haven't tried it yet. Trim image to size. Put liquid clay on glass, enough to cover the image. Place image face down on liquid clay. Bake entire thing according to instructions. Remove from oven and immediately peel paper off of clay, gently lift clay from glass. You now have a transferred image ready to use in whatever project you need! I don't know yet what inks will work, so someone else gets to chime in on that one. -- ~Candace~ Orphan Beads ~low cost and bartering for the financially challenged beader~ http://snipurl.com/6s4t Princess Auctions ~please see for most current updates and auction information~ http://snipurl.com/8s8o "Carla" wrote in message ink.net...

heck if I know sweetie, about seeing it thru the other side.
But you do lay it ontop of your intended area, like you said. Then just blend the edges in, I would think.

I can't find my instruction sheet so I am just pulling this from memory (it is
the technique I used. Paint a layer of the liquid sculpy on the image, bake it, then soak it in warm water. As the water soaks in the paper smooth your finger over it and rub the paper away leaving the ink behind on the clay. You aren't supposed to use high cotton content paper. It says not to use inkjet. I have transfered from magazine cutouts with pretty good sucess. The little instruction sheet I got mentions the technique Candace wrote. I havent tried that. Maybe Sculpey.com has instructions? ..Stephanie. |

That's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for! I've already got
artwork in mind, now all I need is t-shirt transfer paper and cornstarch.
