Flip your image in the computer, trim away all extra paper before heating. place face down on the foil (either side, matt or shiny) cover with a piece of copy paper at first and iron very vigoursly (hot and heavy) for about a minute. take away the copy paper, iron without it to flatten the foil. Then remove the transfer in one motion. <br /><br />It may bubble in places, but it will settle down and read very well. It should work for any metal - but I have not tried anything else but tin foil myself .

I shall try it. I have a huge bottle of the stuff, but have wondered about the necessity of it and if it does improve the hand of the cloth. <br /><br />Loved your images of Henry Moore on fabric by the way. <br /><br />And about the trees - this is a fairly large piece of fabric. Using the photos this way is like painting - or piecing.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-43074364108730253392010-02-23T02:36:09.027-05:002010-02-23T02:36:09.027-05:00Lovely trees, especially on indigo.

It doesn't affect the handle of the fabric and makes the images more integrated. A couple of years ago I printed photos of Henry Moore sculptures on indigo.<br />http://magsramsay.blogspot.com/2007/12/challenge-of-colour-matching-indigo.html<br /><br />You've reminded me how much I liked the technique- must revisit it!magsramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559934058887308651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-58578610921915296702010-02-23T00:12:20.817-05:002010-02-23T00:12:20.817-05:00the transfer looks really cool on the indigo...I l...the transfer looks really cool on the indigo...I like all the imagesJeana Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606307055785738209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-21642215294873977022010-02-22T18:54:35.915-05:002010-02-22T18:54:35.915-05:00cool, all, but I esp. like the trees, too.cool, all, but I esp. like the trees, too.Dee / Cloth Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322155750586982839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-57019331750265066702010-02-22T15:48:58.436-05:002010-02-22T15:48:58.436-05:00nifty tree mix.nifty tree mix.Velma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-86806803504375919682010-02-22T14:22:24.272-05:002010-02-22T14:22:24.272-05:00you know my answer to that.you know my answer to that.judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01514075228644109700noreply@blogger.com
