I have had a busy week looking into image transfer methods.
The first and easiest one I discovered was the use of cellotape. Apply cellotape to the front of the image and simply turn over and rub away the paper using water. This produces a clear sticky transfer. Also works with sticky back plastic to produce larger images. (top left corner). You can also try masking tape and parcel tape. (bottom right corner). I tried turps which can be used to transfer images to fabric but this only works with xerox photocopies so I dont yet have any results.
As the sticky finish produced using tape was not suitable for my needs and does not transfer the image onto fabric I brought some acrylic medium and acrylic paint to try. Simply paint onto the image side of the desired image, place onto fabric image side down, burnish and ensure there are no air bubbles or large bits of medium. Once the transfer is dry again rub away the paper using water. (bottom left corner). Although this is very effective it is time consuming to remove the paper for large scale pieces.
I have had some more public interaction this week with over 20 sites added to my map so I will be busy visiting those in my spare time. I have also contacted the local press and prepared an advert to run which will hopefully encourage visitors to the gallery and public interaction with my project.
