There are better videos for this on You Tube actually but I thought I'd get my practice in. The tricky part is gently and slowly rubbing paper away without removing the image. I also tried several adhesives and have better success with the tight bond water proof wood glue because it resist being saturated when dampening thus allowing you a chance to remove more paper before image wants to lift, which is what you are trying to prevent. You never get all the paper off but the results seem to be satisfying.
Smilingdog1, Wow, like what Phillip said, very very useful video.!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for sharring it with us.!!!!
very very useful video...many thanks....°<[:-) [---]==={...
Thanks Uncle John, the great thing about this process is that it is so forgiving, you can easily clean off errors and start over.
Maddog, I used a HP Deskjet 3050A J611, it's your standard cheapo home desk top printer.
To Bluesheart; I believe the answer is no if what you meant was high quality graphics. These were posted as wallpaper over the net. You can use any photo print through the same process and get fantastic results. I've heard others apply the process by covering the wood with color background so the wood grain doesn't show. Also they have overlapped one image over the other applying layers giving it depth and ghost like images. The possibilities are endless.
When I rubbed the paper off, I was careful not to get it too wet. I noticed when I got down to the image, that the ink and glue began to soften and start to lift free, so I eased off and gently removed the remaining fibers till I felt it looked clear enough to set up & dry for a coating. If your still unsure of yourselves, try it out on a block of pine.
Very cool. What kind of prints do you use. Are the inks archival?
Cool!! Can you use an image printed from any home printer?
Nice
This is a really cool method for the not so artisticly developed. Thanks for posting
Pretty neat. I am sure I could screw the process up! Like that box after you were done.
Glad I could share, there is plenty of info available on line about this process and several different methods to get results.
