Photo Transfers
A Brief Overview:
Okay. First things first. What’s a photo transfer? Something you might want to know before you begin browsing around. It’s simply the transfer of an original photographic image to another medium. It’s a process I’m grateful to have discovered about a year ago on a rainy summer afternoon, when going outside on an adventure with my camera was out of the question (and avoiding the pile of laundry on the floor and the grocery list on the kitchen counter was imperative!).
Since that rainy morning I’ve taught myself how to transfer photo images to tile and watercolor paper. Most recently I’ve taken to fabric, mirror and wood as well.
What I love about the photo transfer process is the element of surprise. What an image becomes largely depends on the nature of the surface onto which it’s being transferred. No two ever turn out exactly alike. The process also gives me an opportunity to have fun playing with acrylic paints and markers for enhancement.
All transfers are treated with a durable sealant to protect against damage; glass is not necessary. View examples of transfers to tile and watercolor paper by clicking the images below or contact me to discuss transfers to other surfaces.
