South Beach apartment building - image transfer

[terri]

I've not had much time for playing, and not done an image transfer in awhile. This image was taken with HIE (infrared) film. I printed it from a laser printer onto regular printer paper. The background is actually a scrap piece of paper I've been using to clean the gel plate of its remnants of various acrylic paints: cleaning is a simple matter of applying white acrylic paint to the gel plate, then lay paper over it and let it dry a bit before pulling it off. I ended up liking the pale white with those flecks of blue, red, etc., so it became the receptor paper for this image transfer. I coated the paper with gel medium, laid the laser print face down into the gel and let it dry. Then just used a spray bottle with water to remove the paper back.

I'm not sure what paper this is - some leftover piece of something that ended up in the scrap pile, but it worked. I like the grungy look this one ended up with. Thanks for looking!

Great image! Every element and artifact belongs exactly as it is.

Prof, Sharon - thank you both! It was fun to do this one, save a throwaway.
