Nikki left me a comment recently, and in it she outlined a glue transfer technique that she uses. Thanks so much for sharing this, Nikki!

I use some of those transfer techniques myself, thanks so much for posting them! It's really hard to find image transfer information by googling :(
Oh, and I know we talked a while back when you posted on of my pictures...just thought I'd let you know I'm finally doing prints of my pieces.
If anyone is curious I do a glue transfer technique:
1. use design markers to draw an image on acetate
2. coat a pictureor painting with elmer's glue
3. flatten the acetate (marker side down) onto the elmer's glue.
4. Let it dry and then pull the acetate off. The ink will stay on top of your image or canvas.

I'm having a hard time discerning where the transferred art ends and Nikki's art begins.
First of all, thank you for featuring my comment :) I really appreciate you posting the link to my prints and I'll definitely link to it from my blog/site :)
Eileen, yes this is a glue transfer technique. The background is an image of a city and then I drew the female using design markers and transferred her using the glue transfer. She seems to be a favorite but if you want to see some of my others you can look at nikkiyeager.com (the coffee cups are also glue transfers).
