Mixed Media

Sellotape Transfer

Sellotape transfer is a easy and very affective method of mixed media, the method step by step follows as - 1. Print of chosen images and in the size you want.   2. Cut them out or tear them if you want a more vintage affect.  3. Arrange your images how you want or you can do with just one.  4. With your images face up on a table, stick the sellotape down onto the images and onto the table where it is too long. repeat this over the image with half a inch over lap of each piece.  5.  Pull the image off the table and face it down.  6. With a sponge spread water over the image, as much water as possible, leave this for 5 minutes.  6. In circles rub off the paper and you're then left with the end result. This process is really affective as I can now use this as a thin piece of acetate for photograms or other techniques, it is also a good overall image on its own. Fashion has inspired me to use this process with the unusual fabrics which are used on the catwalk/fashion shows in the past years.
