I still have much to do and will update after I feel there is something more to show. I like to use photo transfers from my inkjet printer on all kinds of paper and cloth. Computer software is great for making all kinds of special effects to customize your mixed media art. I usually make a transfer off of construction paper or vellum due to the thickness of the paper. I will just affix any pictures printed onto tracing paper with the paper, inkside down. You have to be very careful when you are working with inkjet photos instead of laserjet, because they smear worse. I always apply the medium to the canvas or the board and then affix the picture ink side down carefully in place so you don’t have to move it. Then you are free to add additional medium to the top and edges to firm in place without any fear it will smear.
I know that I will be adding additional paint and perhaps stamping techniques, maybe even covering up some of the images that are already on the canvas. I will sometimes work something over so much that it is no longer recognizable from the first creation. Like any artist, I just keep working until I feel it is complete. I do plan on adding more mixed media hardware and fabric as well.
