USING TRANSFER CRAYONS TUTORIAL
AT THE TOP OF THIS POST IS AN IMAGE OF WINNIE THE POOH
I found a copyfree image & crayoned in the colours, exactly the same as with normal crayons, colour within the lines. Then outline the edges with black.
- The crayons can be shapened with a normal pencil sharpener or with a craft knife
- Make sure that you get rid of any 'bits' of crayon from your image especially around the edges - remember that EVERYTHING - even little bits will transfer & large bits will make BLOBs
TRANSFER PRINTING - WITH RUBBINGS
- CUT shapes - use basic geometric shapes to start with - out of thick stiff card.
- GLUE these shapes to the base board
- Leave to dry
- Lay a sheet of scrap paper onto a flat surface
- Lay your rubbing board FACE UP on top of the scrap paper
- Lay chosen transfer paper on top of the rubbing board & using masking tape secure the transfer paper to the scrap paper
- The image shows the CRAYOLA crayons & the taped paper & rubbing board
BLUE random squiggles
PURPLE tighter squiggles
Black heavy squiggles, this is now defining the shapes
I then added YELLOW around the shapes
Below is the transferred image on the left hand side & the coloured paper (in reverse) on the right hand side
I have transferred to 100% polyester satin cream fabric
