| This piece began as an experiment. You may recognize the image from my drawing, Ta Suil (Irish for hope.) I took the drawing and transferred it onto a collage on mat board using transfer paper. After painting, I decided to add some text using the packing tape transfer method which I'll show you today. |
 |
| First, I took an old art magazine and clipped out some words that spoke to me and placed them on some pieces of packing tape. |
 |
| Then, I placed each piece of tape in a bowl of water and let it soak a second or two. After that, I gently rubbed away the paper backing with my finger. |
 |
| The paper backing comes off pretty easy and I'm left with just the words on the tape. |
 |
| Sometimes, the tape is still sticky enough that you can just attach it to the piece. Otherwise, you can use gel medium to adhere it. |
