water color transfer prints
the process
When we were assigned this project we were asked to use one of our previous projects and print it out. Then we were asked to water color a piece of paper that we would later put our project on. When those steps were both complete we had to mod podge the picture design side down so that the pictures ink would print on the water color. Then we had to use a squeegee and get all of the extra mod podge and air bubbles out from the picture. We had to wait for the mod podge to dry before we scratched the paper off. Two days later we used water to scratch the paper off of the water color. Once we finished that our picture was onto of our watercolor.
using tools
I used a lot of new tools for this project. I had only worked with mod lodge once before this but I have never used it on a project like this. I had also never worked with a. squeegee before but I will definitely use it in the future because it was very helpful and got most of the bubbles out. I also have never used the technique of using water to peel the picture off or this printing technique.
final product
I was very pleased with the final product of this project. I was surprised on how nicely the ink printed on the water color. When we started this project I thought that it wasn't going to turn out. I could have done better as far as pealing the paper off and making the print look smoother but it still looks great. I hope we get to do another project like this in the future.
