I've been wanting to do some image transferring for a very long time. I finally got the chance last weekend and I'm thrilled with the results. Here are two of my projects.
There are many ways to transfer images--gel medium, Mod Podge, wax paper and lots more. I've tried a few of them and the results were so-so. But recently I checked out a link that The Graphics Fairy posted about a gentleman (TheCrafsMan) who image transferred using poly acrylic. I was intrigued. His project was done on wood and came out beautifully but I wondered if it would work on metal. Specifically metal trays that were chalk painted. I selected two designs from The Graphics Fairy, Fish Sign and Pig Sign. As you can see, this technique works great! I'm working on a few others that I'll share with you soon.
EDIT:
Very honored to say that these trays were featured on
