I tend to like watching some craft segments/shows that come on... sometimes. Many times they have HORRIBLE ideas that are just vapid crap but every once in a while they have neat or interesting ideas.
I saw this one on the Katie Brown Work Shop that comes on ch. 11-3 Create.

Stack of black and white photocopies Clear packing tape Baking dish large enough to fit the photocopies in, filled with water Polymer Acrylic Medium Thin craft wood Pencil Hinged metal ring
Scissors Hole puncher Foam brush
1. Cover the black and white photocopies with the packing tape photo, overlapping the strips of tape as you go. Trip the excess tape. 2. Soak the paper in the water, rubbing the back of the paper until there is no more paper on the tape and the image has been transferred. Dry the tape photo. 3. Measure and cut the wood to whatever size you want your album to be. Using a dry foam brush cover the wood in a generous and even layer of medium. Lay the photocopy face down onto the wood. 4. Beginning at the middle of the board, use your fingers to work out any excess medium or air bubbles. Allow to dry. 5. Punch a hole in the top corner of the wood and attack the metal ring; this is so that you can keep all your wood photographs together.
For black and white photocopy family photographs, the fresher the copy, and the higher the contrast the better the end result.
For extra pop and durability, add another layer of medium to the top. The imperfection of the transferred image is part of its appeal and character.
If you want to have titles for your images scan in the photographs and add type. |
