Emulsion Transfer

Okay Ruth Ann, finished my DS wedding SB and had some time to experiment. This is an emulsion transfer straight from the Golden sight. I used an image from a glossy magazine and coated the top of her 2x with golden gel medium and let dry. I gently rubbed the paper off the back with a baby wipe and what you have left is an onion skin thin transparent emulsion of the image in reverse. I put this on a Bernie Berlin BG. I had a very difficult time photographing this and it is probably not completely dry.

BTW, I did purchase a Chartpak Blender to try that transfer method also

Very cool Julie! So once you coat it and let dry, then the paper rubs off, does it need to be magazine paper?

Holly, anything but inkjet print. You could coat a whole sheet of images at a time and then have them on hand, which is what I will do the next time.

I have this one in my art journal to try one of these days. For some reason, I thought you could use inkjet, but I'm too whipped (been peeling off wall paper all day) to go get the journal and look...I've been keeping all the techniques I've found and plan on using in my CRS art journal.

I think you did a great job with this...like it very much!!!

I may be wrong Ruth Ann...I've looked at so many different transfer techniques...great idea keeping them all in one place!

I'm keeping them in one place because of CRS! and I have some big plans for transferance art as I really, really like doing it. I've been slowly working my way through some of the techniques to see what works well for each kind of work I want to end up doing. I have old vintage family photos i will eventually work with and want really clean, crisp transferals for them.....and I think I have it! as for the vintage look, I've liked the gel transfer for that weathered look...Isn't it fun?
