Caulking Transfers
I'm working on a collage for my sister Becky. I tried a new technique, using clear silicone caulking compound.
You squeeze the caulking compound directly onto your canvas. Then you brush it out and place the photo you want to transfer on top. Then you wait 24 hours.
Then you wet the surface of the photo backing and begin to rub it away. Now... this is the part I didn't get. Once removing the major layer of backing paper. You let it dry... and then rewet and rub the remaining paper residue away.
Hmmm.... I didn't remember reading that part of the direction. So... instead I just kept adding water and rubbing, and rubbing and rubbing. Needless to say, my image began to rub away tooooooooooooooooooooo!
But this is my first time... so I'll have to try it again. I'm not too pleased with this result.
