Graphite Enhanced Image Transfer Technique

Happy Day Everyone!

Roni here with a fun new technique for you all to try....

Graphite Enhanced Image Transfer!

This is something I came up with while experimenting with Orange Oil Image Transfers.

It's a fun way to get the hand drawn/sketch look

without having to have one stitch of drawing ability!

Instructions:

Print out your desired collage image in black and white on plain copy paper and trim.

I used images from the following collage sheets: Edgar Allen Poe - AP1552; Poe's Raven - AP1820; Vintage Vampires AP1817.

Transfer the image to your cardstock using the Orange Oil Image Transfer Technique (place the image on your cardstock, saturate with Orange Oil Cleaner, burnish with a bone folder and ta daaa your image has been transfered)

Let the transferred image dry completely. This is a must...if you move onto the next step too soon you will tear your image to bits.

Now take a pencil - trace and color in the image.

Next, smudge up the image with your finger, a blending stump or Tortillon. This is what really makes the image take on that hand drawn feel. I like my images more smudgy and smeared but you can experiment with the blending to see what you like best.

Hope you have a super day!!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
