Matt Medium Transfer

breathe

Here's my first effort using the  background paper below. I altered it slightly using Photoshop so that there weren't intrusive objects where the face was to go.

I then used a transparency and matt medium to transfer a photo of my son, Ben, back in the days he  had dreadlocks. (I didn't create the photo image,. He did it from a photo one of his friends took.)

I expected the transfer to be black. I was delighted by whatever chemical reaction turned it green!

I then stamped the letters on another sheet of the same background using Ma Vincis  grunge alphabet stamps
