Hey Cuan--mailed you something on Tuesday.

My Post is on it's way to you...but not the easy transfer method...

1. pick a magazine/book/newpaper/photo with image/words or background color that goes with what you have in mind...or pick the image and work from that.

2. use clear packing tape with the picture side up run tape over the image...my tape is usually 2" wide and I tape Vertical (up and down)...usually I only have to us no more than 2 strips. (there is another method for large items, which I don't care for)...make sure the tape is adhered on all side with overflow for applying to project...doesn't matter if there is allot of overflow; that can be trimmed as needed...

3. run image under lukewarm water to remove the backing paper....what is left is the image which adheres to the tape...any white areas on the picture will be gone and you will get the see through effect...when you trim the image, make sure you leave at least an 1/8th of tape trim to hold to project...If that look interferes with what you are doing, I have trimmed closer and used dbl-sided tape...

4. now you can play with adding background, words, foreground...however you see the design...You will need to play with the images that you have chosen, each one comes off differently...the quality of the paper and image has allot to do with it...

Once you get the hang of it, it takes no time at all *!*

thank you and hugs for the note...in my next post to you I will give you the simple process I use for tape transferring ....

hugs *!*
