What is it called?
Linelle Lane
There's a process my husband has been experimenting with. We've been
calling it decoupage, but aren't sure that's the correct term.
It involves applying varnish to canvas board and applying a picture face
down. Then soaking the paper off, leaving the ink. There's more to it
than that, but that's the basic principle. He'd like to learn more about
it, but we need to know if there's a name for this craft.
Thanks for any help.

The image's ink is trapped in the acrylic. The paper is soaked until it
rubs away. Then you sort of have a decal. What my husband is doing is
color xeroxing in reverse, gluing face-down (reversing again equals right
way), soaking off paper *on top*. Apply sealing coat.
This is really experimental now (at least the results are unpredictable).

There is a chemical that can be used to transfer photo images to
t-shirts. I forget the name of it (maybe "transfer medium?), but I
know they sell it at Ben Franklin. I think I even saw it at Wal-Mart.
It comes in a bottle the size of tacky glue. I haven't tried it, but
thought it would be interesting to experiment with sometime.

RE: Decal Transfer to Pottery
"I do know of a product called "Decal-Eze", which can be used to
lift pictures from paper for transfer to pottery. This is a
brushable liquid product, containing acrylic resins. To use it,
brush it onto a sheet of paper with the picture, allow it to dry,
and then peel it off. The resins pick up the inks, & you can then
put it on your ceramic piece. You can't fire the resulting
"decal", but you can protect it with surface sealers. It's also
not food safe: "Decal-Eze" is for purely decorative work only.
The jar label says it doesn't work very well with glossy or
coated paper. You could probably get some good results with this
for decorative pieces. (For more information or prices on
Decal-Eze, call World Class Ceramics at 503.255.5554: they stock
this product.)"

When I was growing up, I belonged to a club that sent me a craft project
once a month. Does anyone know if this club still exists? I really
enjoyed this and my mother has many of these projects still hanging on
her wall.
Also, anyone else out there still do decoupage?
Thanks,

I have been doing decoupage for a few years now, over here (UK) we use
the term for the 3-dimensional papertole, is that what you mean? Or do
you mean the flat type where you paste pictures to a surface and then
varnish?
I have done the latter type also but prefer the 3-D version, I won first
prize in a comp. with a card I made that way and I am entering a large
'picture' this year which I made from giftwrap. I love it but can't find
the time to do much these days - maybe it's the fault of the new sewing
machine, the calligraphy, the cross-stitch, the cooking, the needlepoint
or, most likely, the Internet!!!

I saw it on Aileens and thought the idea was neat but the $40 price tago
turned me off.
Then I found it at a local craft mart here for $20. I still haven't bought
it but I'm more
likely to at $20 to just play with it. I haven't seen it in any of the
craft catalogs but
if you have a larger craft store in your area you may find it there.
Michael's doesn't
carry it. The place I found it is called Crafters Mart. Good Luck!

I'm sorry but I do not know what 3-D papertole is? But it sounds like
something I would like to learn...do you give instructions? I do the
flat decoupage.
Congratulations on your winnings. I do the crafts just as relaxation.
Between full time work and raising and showing rabbits my time is very
short for me.
Take care and good luck on your next project.
Thanks,

Don't waste your time and money. You can do the selfsame thing with
some water, a toothpick, a basin and some Testor's Model enamel. Run
water in the basin, put a couple drops of paint in, swirl your paint
with the toothpick, and quickly dip the item. You'll have to dip
quick, and change the water frequently, because the paint will
eventually disperse and just leave a slick on the water, rather than
the "marble" pattern that you are looking for.

I've done a similar process (I called it decoupage) and applied the
pictures to pieces of wood that have a nice grain or stained so the grain
stands out. I used pictures from magazines (the paper soaks off easily).
Instead of applying it to anything first - I coated the magazine picture
with up to 6 layers of modge podge - reversing the direction of the (foam)
brush strokes after each layer dried. Then after soaking the picture in
water for a while, gently rub off the paper. To be sure you have removed
all the paper - you can even let the transfer partially dry (the paper you
missed is easier to spot). Rewet and coat both sides with modge podge to
apply.
The plus side of this process is that you don't have to reverse your
picture to apply it - just lay it down with the modge podge coated side
up. You can also change the placement of the picture by gently lifting and
repositioning it.
The minus side is if you don't remove all the paper it will be trapped
underneath and show thru. Same goes with air bubbles - make sure you have
pressed all of them out the sides. And if you do not remove the paper
gently enough you might stretch and distort the picture somewhat.
As in anything else - it takes a bit of experimentation. I have over a
dozen wood pictures in different shapes and sizes (some framed - some not)
that I use as a wall grouping and always get complements on it.

Do you mean the stuff that cleans silver? If so make it yourself. All you
need is a plastic bowl big enough for your purpose, put in a piece of
aluminium foil scrunched up and a teaspoon of salt, add enough warm water
for your silver to be immersed. Make certain the salt is dissolved and
then start dipping the silver, one piece at a time, leave for about 30
seconds and then rinse the article off in clean water and dry with a soft
cloth.
This works with lightly tarnished silver but if there is heavy tarnishing
a good quality silver polish works better.
Throw out the mix when the foil begins to darken and start with a new lot.

You can get the same effect by drizzling oil based paint in a pail of water.
