More quick projects... (& the famous transfer tutorial)
fronts: gel medium and/or acrylic ground for pastels transfers embellished with paint. backs: hand cut stencil + spray paint, acrylic, pen
Several of you asked for transfer tips yesterday convincing me that I could really host a 24 hour cable access television show regarding the subject! Behold, the most requested Lost Luggage tutorial of all time- Transfer How to - over on my "old" blog. Look around while you're over there...I divulge all of my most favorite tips and tricks. There are two "old blogs"...one for reviews and tutorials and one for art before Typepad.
If you have questions regarding the transfer process, please post them in the comments here. That way, I can answer for everyone to see!
By the way....have you checked out the GPP Street Team Crusade this month? It's all about cutting stencils like I have above and inhaling spray paint fumes. What are you waiting for? You know you want to.....
Thank you so much for stopping by today!! Have a great weekend!
Great transferts! I also love the interview a few post under. I must admit, I'm one of those people who think you're intresting!

Thanks, I just read your transfer tutorial. Loved learning about the magic Mr clean eraser. I'll be looking for that. Hope I can find it in the little bitty town.

I love the stenciling in the bright pink. It really pops against the green. Very cool!

Julie you are great ! That tutorial was so clear (as usual !) ! I love how you give hints about what to do and what Not to do ! My Liquitex medium must be the problem - I have to order my Golden on line as no good suppliers in my area ! Just means I will have to wait for the fun ! Oh well - back to stencils !!!
By the way, I love the rose with dark background - jumping off the page !Gorgeous !
Thanks.

Wonderful transfers Julie. Love your stencils also :)

Julie, thank you again. You are my guiding light, dare I say, my inspirational technical mentor? Your lessons are a treasure for someone like me who has never taken a real collage class, or any art class for that matter. How can I very thank you?
Here's an idea: why don't you hold a seminar r workshop and we can all show up at your house :) ?

Hi Julie
your pages look great, the tutorial is great (never thought of fine pumice gel as a medium for tranfering). THANKS!

Gosh, those are gorgeous. My favorites are the rose (if that's what it is) and the daffodils.
Great interview too.
