photo transfer

... is something I've been playing with a little bit...

for this example I started with an inkjet image
(my own photo) and some watercolor paper

I tore the edges using a ruler,
and I marked the corner placement with a tiny pencil dot

I adhered the image, face down, using mod podge

when the MP was dry,
I soaked the back of the inkjet image with water
and began rubbing the paper off

what remains is the ink and a very thin layer of the inkjet paper
as you can see, it's an imperfect result

some areas transfer well

some areas - not so well

but this is exactly what I was hoping to achieve
a sort of ghostly and soft image
when I was done, I applied a coat of MP as a clear coat
helping to bring up the color a little bit
