Image Transfer onto Fabric


Image Transfer using the hand sanitizer method on fabric.

While the transfer was ok, it's a tad bit blurry, I'm thinking this would be a great technique to use with bold lines and less detail.  The transfer onto canvas was NOT successful in my mind as it was a  big blurry blob with no details.

Image Transfers with Hand Sanitizer



Image transfers using the hand sanitizer (alcohol) method.  The hand sanitizer I used was the Sam's Club, Members Mark, sanitizer as I was out of Purell.  I didn't notice any difference between it and the Purell Brand.  I printed the transfers onto Hammermill Transparencies and did the transfer onto 90# watercolor paper. The color was applied with Caran D'Ache NeoColor II watersoluble crayons.

Print your image onto the transparency sheet.
Liberally apply hand sanitizer to the watercolor paper NOT the transparency sheet, using a cotton ball.
Flip your image onto the soaked paper.
Using a spoon or burnisher rub the image onto the paper below.
NOTE:  If your paper is fairly wet and your image fresh you won't have to do much rubbing to transfer the image.
