The Infinite Supply Of II: Proposal Pack Thinner Transfer

Here are some instructions to transferring your black and white photocopied images onto a surface. I've tried this method on Paper, Fabric, Wood and they all work well. Metal and other smooth surfaces are said to be more difficult to transfer onto, but no harm trying as well! : )

What You'll Need:
A Rag, Thinner (kangaroo brand lacquer thinner works well),
Fresh Photocopy of Subject, Surface (brown envelopes here)



Prepare all your materials, pour some thinner into a smaller jar for easy handling. Get ready your
photocopied image and ensure it's a mirror image of what you intend to replicate.



Position the photocopied image in place, then dip one end of the rag into thinner so that it is damp(not
dripping wet). Gently glide it over the back of the photocopied image, then apply more pressure.



Flip your image to check if the transfer is working/
if there are areas to touch up... and TADAH! : )

I have not tried this with colour photocopies yet, but I heard it works. If you are interested in transferring coloured material, there is another method which requires the use of acrylic gel medium. I'll update with step by step instructions if i happen to use it in my work.

The Infinite Supply Of II: Proposal Pack Thinner Transfer Designs

Transfers of illustrations by Mandy & Ashley, photos
of Xin's sculptures and Betty's handmade purse,
all shown in our recent T.I.S.O travelogue exhibition.

I had an idea for packaging our proposal for the part two of The Infinite Supply Of exhibition at Telok Blangah CC. I thought it would be nice for our other team members to take home a part of the exhibition with them, along with a hard copy of the proposals, in an envelope with an illustration of one of the artworks on it.

However, the envelope wouldn't feed into the photocopier, nor will it work in a laserjet, hence, thinner transfers will work best for this idea! :)

I'll upload a tutorial on how thinner transfer is done soon! Promise.

SURFACE 1°22 : creating packaging material

I've decided to package the leftover hand-printed fabric like how ink & spindle does at the art markets, and put them on display too with the other journals.
