While I'm getting ready for the 3 French Hens Market in Morris, IL this Saturday, 9-10-16, here's another popular post I'm re-sharing with you. Originally published in June of 2015, it's a transfer process I use quite often. I've know for years that you can transfer images with acetone. However, some techniques can get messy (Pouring the acetone on the back of an image, etc). The following method is quite simple. As most of you know, I often use the blender pen for transferring images. You can review that technique by clicking HERE. One day, I was in the midst of transferring, and, realized that every single one of my blender pens were out of juice. So, I grabbed a glass bottle, and, my container of acetone. I dipped the pen in the acetone. The acetone absorbed, and, I finished my project, using the pen as if it were brand new. Okay, bare in mind, you're going to have to keep dipping the pen, if you have a large image to transfer. Don't pour a large amount of acetone into an open container, and, leave it sitting. It will evaporate. As you can see in the photo above, I used just enough to keep the tip of the pen wet. Just like the blender pen method of transferring, you need to have a toner based (laser, xerox, etc.) copy. Ink jet prints "will not work". I'm using "PURE" acetone here, NOT fingernail polish remover. You can get it at your local hardware, or, home improvement store. PLEASE, adhere to warnings on the label, wear protective gloves, and, USE IT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. I've used this method on metal, as you can see on the galvanized pail above. I've also used it on wood, my painted designs, and, vintage salvaged wood. If you don't have a blender pen, you can use a cotton swab. Or, should I say, multiple cotton swabs, depending on the size of your transfer. Make sure to apply pressure when rubbing. It works on fabric as well. I used it to transfer the graphics onto the pillow, and, the fabric covered books below. So, give acetone a try, if you haven't already.

Supplies needed: Acrylic dabbers, photocopy of an image, water spritzer bottle, paintbrush, card stock, craft sheet and heat tool (optional) Take the lid off the dabbers and brush the paint onto the card stock, ensure you get a good coverage Take your photocopied image ( remember that you will get a reverse of the image, so don't use bold words), flip it over and place it in the acrylic. Lightly press it down making sure it's smooth and not wrinkled Leave to air dry for at least 15 minutes and then if you wish give it a blast with the heat tool Only move onto this step when you are sure your paint is completely dry Take your water filled spritzer bottle, spray the back of the paper no more than two squirts, you don't want it too wet Next start to rub the paper very gently with your finger Keep rubbing and extra spritzing if you need too Eventually you will get rid of all the paper, but it does take a bit of patience as you have to be careful not to wet it too much and rub the image away You can do exactly the same on a canvas Apparently the paint in the acrylic dabbers is slightly different to other acrylics as it is more chalky and that's why the transfers work best with these paints. But you can use other mediums. I tried it with Jo Sonia's background paints but didn't get such a good effect
