...or two, or three!
I started this whimsical witches hat, but something was missing. It
didn't have enough layers, so I thought I'd transfer some images. Now I could
just glue the paper on and then peel it off, but I don't do easy. Can't find
the transfer paper. ( not organized) I'm not going to spend time looking for it,
so I do it old fashion way!
so I do it old fashion way!
I always think of these things after I add the pretty stuff, but I thought
I'd show you the process anyway, mess and all.
That white paper has an image on the other side, which I glued to the
cone of the hat. After it sets enough, but not quite dried, I soak
the paper and lift it off. Kind of like stripping wall paper.
The water soaks the paper enough to start the peeling process, but
leaves the image from the print.
It's a worn vintage effect, and I didn't spend an hour looking for
the transfer paper.
Now what do I do about the mess on the work surface?
I'll worry about that tomorrow!
By the way,
I like this glue. It takes a little getting used to,
it dries pretty quick but still gives you enough time to move
things around and it holds. It's like a gummy gel, but
it won't bond your fingers together for life!
Be well.

You sound a bit like me...IF fairies come and clean up after you, please give them my card...I am willing to trade my teeth for a clean organized studio :D
I, too, love that glue.

Lisa, you crack me up, I'll send the clean freak fairies right over, did I say that?
Theresa, and Sonia, please, make sure I finish this...and Laura, you should see some of the verifications I get, it makes me double take.
