Transferring An Image

  This entry was originally posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2012.


The best way to transfer your image is to use a ballpoint pen.

It has a nice tip for the fine lines.

You can see where you have drawn.

And if you use different color pens, you can use your photocopy to transfer a couple of times.

Make Your Own Transfer Paper

 This entry was originally posted on Tuesday, February 7, 2012.

 

There are several brands of transfer/graphite paper out there.

Some are better than others.

If you want to buy transfer paper, just make sure it doesn't have any wax in it.

My favorite brands are Sally's and Saral transfer paper. 

There is also a simple way to make transfer paper.

Take a piece of tracing paper (not to be confused with transfer).

Put some tape around the edges so the paper doesn't tear.

Now rub a piece of graphite on it (a nice soft pencil also works).

The rub it into the paper with a tissue.

Now you have transfer paper.
