  • Excellent video !!! Question: Is it possible to use old photos I have with this technique?

  • this technique works particularly well with the kind of material that old magazines are covered with --as it is not very colourproof and can easily be transferred...with old photos it may not work as well... as that is usually much heavier and different coating

  • Thanks for this great video. Alot of times I'm stumped about what you use for the background. Question: What is the type of gel medium that you use? I see the brand is Golden but they have about 5 different ones at our craft store.

  • thanks. golden gel matte medium

  • This is really neat! Will have to try it.

  • Yet another wonderful video :) I've been wanting to experiment with some image transfers, but would like to do it in my art journal. Do you think this is possible? Or does a gel transfer require a sturdier background such as canvas or wood, etc.?

  • @SOpacugirl i did a search...it is similar. but has other things in it and it sounds like toxic stuff....look on ehow. i am thinking rubbing alcohol will work but may have to be the stronger one.

  • @blancha1 you can make copies of old photos with toner based printers,,,not ink jets!...go to Kinkos or a copy store ....those will work i am told

  • Thanks so much for sharing.

  • where the heck is part II

  • Is there another name for "surgical spirits" is that "rubbing alcohol"?

  • What is SURGICAL SPIRIT? Rubbing Alcohol?

  • Love love love this! Thanks so much for sharing.
