Week 4: Image Transfer

The left part of this journal (the words) is a page out of a book that I used for an image transfer. I left some of the back page, and didn't transfer all of the words below so it's confusing, you can read some places and can't read others.

On this page:

Acrylic, image transfer, tech pen

My start...

I got my Polaroid Land camera working today. I tried my first image transfer, it didn't work so well

I also bought my first piece of furniture today, a chair from the thrift store, I am still cleaning it up so no pictures for a while.

So today was just full of firsts, hah.

A transfer of the negative from my emulsion lift print. Made the transfer quite a few minutes after I had pulled of the print. Surprised it worked so well!

Series of solid polymer clay pendants made with image transfers of strange creatures I've created in GIMP. Pendants are reversible, and will be strung permanently on buna cord with polymer clay bead closures glued on. At least one of these will be made into a men's necklace.

These pendants are made in many stages. For those interested these are:

1) Create image in GIMP and print on transfer paper.

2) Bake transfer with paper until barely set, not a full bake.

3) Cool fully. Make an image for the back side, join with the front image and bake lightly again.

4) Sand through several grits of paper, buff with jeweler's lathe.

5) Frame and build the bail out of black clay. bake again for a full cycle. Quench in ice water when they come out of the oven after this baking.

6) After cooling, I coat them with several coats of acrylic before stringing.

These are labor-intensive, and I can see that the images aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I like them a lot and am having fun making these. Ultimately, that is all that counts.

Work in progress.
