Introduction from the Author

Everyone is fascinated by the "transfer" process. Making something move from one place to another is a pretty cool trick by anyone's standards. Transfers allow for the seamless application of images and text on many surfaces, eliminating the cut edges and bumpy surfaces that are visible in traditional collage techniques.

There are many ways to make transfers, but for the most part I will be dealing with the most benign of them - those created by or enhanced with Acrylic products.

Whatever you thought you knew about transfers, or thought you could do with them, will be expanded by the techniques in these pages. My goal is for you to see the transfer process as another "tool" in mixed media techniques to use along with everything else you know.

This book is divided into two parts: 'The Process' and 'The Application'. To make the most of transfers, we will avoid working with non-archival products and stick to artist quality products in our adventure.

I am ready to get transferring. Aren't you?
