At Last! After much experimentation I have found an image transfer method that works for me.
Turps and carbon copies was unsuccessful so I went back to the internet and discovered that a mix of turps, soap shavings and water is effective. I had no soap shavings to hand so first tried liquid soap with some good results but the transfer was not as vivid as I wanted. I then bought some soap and ‘shaved’ it. It took a while to get the consistancy right (it can only be described as gooey) but as you can see from the photo I am now able to transfer my images onto fabric. This method works well with standard prints as well so no need to photocopy images athough its worth noting they will be reversed. This process is also non-destructive so although the original image now looks worn it can still be used elsewhere.
A reletively good 2 days of exploring Monday means I also have another 500 images to edit. Note to self: double check maps BEFORE walking miles in the wrong direction!
