Hi Everyone!
It's still raining here in Berkshire, it's becoming normal!
Last week's tags were fab again. We seem to like the summer themes, even if
it doesn't feel summery.
For my tag this week I wanted to try some transfer printing, using a technique from a great book I have recently acquired -Image Transfer Workshop
by Dalene Olivia McElroy and Sandra Duran Wilson. I used acrylic paint to transfer print an image from a magasine for the background, then collaged a bird and text for the foreground. I photographed it on some of my painted papers, which I thought looked like the sea.
Now I am going to have a look at your tags!
I'd like to have a go at tranfer printing.. Another thing to go on the wish list.
ReplyDeleteWell done Jane. I like the colours

Very neat. I'd like to give that a try too!
ReplyDeleteLovely effect makes a great tag! I have recently brought that book too, oh for another day in the week to experiment! Great work. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, love the muted colours. Valerie
ReplyDeleteHi Jane - I had no idea you could use magazine prints to do this. I have done it with prints from an ink jet and they work well. It makes a lovely moody background to your tag.
ReplyDeleteI love the effect you got with the transfer. I need to try that sometime. Blessings!
ReplyDeletecool - i have to try that jenx
ReplyDeleteA really lovely tag - I love the transfer print - so subtle and gentle - a lovely, lovely tag.
