I found a neat copyright-free photo of 4 ladies sitting around a quilting frame working and visiting together. I printed it onto an overhead and attempted a transfer onto this
monoprint using acrylic medium. As you can see, not much of the photo
transferred and portions of it stuck to the surface and lifted paper when I peeled it off. I'm still getting used to the
BFK Reeves paper. I find a huge difference between transferring onto bare paper and a print or painted surface. More practice I suppose...
So, on to plan B - since I damaged the paper I felt the best option left was collage. I reprinted the image onto tracing paper and
used acrylic medium to collage it over top of the first mess. And now I've got other challenges... I'm going to need to creatively integrate the image into the print. I have a few ideas to try - more new territory for me. This photo shows where the piece is at this evening. I hope to have some time to work on it tomorrow so stay tuned!
