Transfer Fun

I worked a little more on Lesson 2 from Julie Prichard's Layer Love class. The class steps are all done, but I got inspired by the background and started adding things.....My first addition was a crow transfer using Elmer's Caulk, inkjet image and transparency. Thanks go out to Marianne from Marianne's Art Blog for the caulk, directions, image and inspiration!! Mk ROCKS!! plus she has awesome taste in music...just sayin.

Here is the inkjet image printed on transparancy:

India Ink and calligraphy pen vines:

I didn't wait long enough and some of the transfer lifted, so I just painted in the blank spots:


Goin to fill in with some more paper here and there I think, highlight the vines more....Tell me what you think.....xoSusan

  3. I love the crow imagery and how it grounds the color and vines. I've still got to try the transfer technique; on my *list*!! ;)
    Try something unexpected with the vines...leaves with words, a heavily textured addition, a very soft and sheer image to the left of the crow......just ideas....

    XXOO!!
