Project #2 - Transfer photos on canvas

For the birthday of my father I wanted to give him something handmade.

I´ve seen some pretty pictures on pinterest, and I´ve seen an interesting instruction on how to transfer a photo on canvas on A beautiful mess, so I thought this was the time to give it a try.

The instructions on A beautiful mess are really great, so I will tell the whole story here, just read Elsie´s and Emma´s blog (and fall totally in love with it, like I have).

But here are some pictures from my production. I have choosen a picture my father really likes, and I worked really fine. With this technique the result will not look perfect, but I think it works really great with my chosen photo.

Still a white film - rubb, rubb, rubb

Done!

The most importent part is to use only laser-copied photos, if you only have a inkjet printer at home, copy your photo at a copy shop.
Second, it will not work with Mod Podge, tried it - fail. I used the Gel Medium from Liquidex, and it worked really well for me.
I sealed my canvas in the end with Mod Podge, this worked fine.

So...
Enjoy!

(PS: I have also tried this technique in fabric and wood, I will soon upload a tutorial for this)
