I've been playing with transferring images using gesso. I discovered I can transfer rubber stamp images if I use a pigment ink to stamp my image on copy paper for the transfer.

For example, we use caulk around a window to make sure there is a good seal with the frame.

I don't know why your transfer didn't work unless the copy you were using wasn't a toner copy. Ink jets don't work well. Some xerox machines don't use toner anymore.

When I recently tried again the paper (and ink) never transferred to the caulk and simple peeled off. I feel as though I didn't do anything different and unsure why this time didn't work. I used an acrylic latex caulk. Seems others recommend a silicone. Any advice would be great, thanks all!

If you really want to try it, do a test with a dab of caulk on the same type of paint as your work to see how visible it is. These transfers are usually part of mixed media pieces that have lots of layers to help disguise the lines. Also don't forget that caulk transfers reverse the image, so you have to print it out backwards. <br /><br />Maybe a dumb question, but wouldn't you consider just writing it directly onto your painting in your own handwriting? Very personal and unique.

My goal is to make the words appear on the painting without it looking like they are separate. No gloss. No lines. Would this process work? Without fading the paint through the rubbing, silicone, or water?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233569938602152320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-3506878087914992052010-06-16T07:21:34.182-04:002010-06-16T07:21:34.182-04:00You could do this on bare wood, Tammy, especially ...You could do this on bare wood, Tammy, especially if you "prime" the area with a coating of varnish or urethane first, and then seal it with the same product.
