Make Art Monday!

Tomorrow, for Technique Tuesday, I’ll be sharing tutorials on doing image transfers with both plain paper and with photo paper. Here are a couple of examples of work that uses these interesting techniques:

Never Doubt

“Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light.”

This wonderful thought was penned by Raymond Edman, missionary and former president of Wheaton College.

    I’ve had better luck using transparencies to do fabric transfers, but it may just be me. The instructions are at this link:
