Magic!


One of my favorite image transfer techniques uses the Chartpak Colorless Blender. It contains a xylene solvent that allows you to transfer copier toner to another source. I have used this successfully on wood, fabric, paper, and canvas. Just place your copied image face down and secure one side with blue painter's tape. "Color" over the image in small sections with the blender. Burnish the moist area with a bone folder and lift up the non-taped side to see if it has transferred. Remember to use the "mirror image" button on the copier if you want to transfer text or faces.
