Having not been able to successful execute a
Gel Transfer (to my satifaction) I decided to look for variations in the method that would give me a more satisfactory effect.
I found a technique at
Dream, Create, Inspire which seems to work very well for me. Her tutorial is excellent, so I have only briefly outlined what I did.
I use Matisse Gel Medium, a product readily available here in Brisbane, Australia.
- Apply gel to surface of the picture (or book page)
- Lay image down on page
- Gently burnish (I used the back of a spoon)
- Immediately remove the paper.

You rock my world, I LOVE how these came out.
I hope the technique works for you. You know I am going to be stealing my kids artwork now...he he he
Oh wow...the transfers worked out great! I saw Matisse Gel Medium at my local art shop yesterday (while I was looking for Golden gel medium).
Now that I see how well the Matisse works, I think I'll grab it rather than doing my head in searching for the Golden one.
Thanks heaps for posting this!
