Here's collage #2 from the workshop several weeks ago. It's 5x7 inches on matboard. It's mostly paper -- tissue paper, printed papers, wrapping paper -- though there are a few strings, gold foil, and bits of fabric.
The image of the woman is a photo transfer, made using acrylic gel medium. Here's how:
- Select a photo -- magazine or laser prints work best. Don't use prints on photo paper or made from ink jet printers.
- Cover it with at least 4 coats of acrylic gel medium. Let dry thoroughly.
- Soak in water for a few minutes to soften the backing paper. Rub the paper off. Soak as needed to loosen all the paper.
- The image will remain attached to the acrylic gel and will appear transparent.
