Looks good! I'll have to give that a shot. My finger is getting a blister from rubbing off the heavy matte paper using the modpodge method (not kidding -- it hurts to keep rubbing!)

I actually had no success with the heavy paper. it simply didn't transfer.
by the way, I tried the gel medium, it works fine, just like the Gesso. so either way...
however, I think I like the messy mod's appearance better :)

Yeah, the messier ones do tend to look better. I'm going to get some gesso in a bit and give that a shot, but I'm trying a few more transfers on light paper first -- the matte works TOO well for me.

Today I had an idea; why not add paint to the Gesso before spreading it over the image? so I did. and it came out pretty cool :)
I will post one of these painted transfers on my blog soon.

I like the new mod pictures, too. Those are very cool. How did you do that? I haven't worked with Gesso yet, so I don't know what exactl you mean by adding paint to it. What kind of paint. What exactly IS gesso? :)

conglom, are you asking about the farm picture posted on my blog? It's a mod transfer which I enhanced its colors with a little bit of diluted water paint.
Gesso is an acrylic primer (white) and in order to make the "painted transfers" I mixed it up with different acrylic paints.

Yes, the farm one and the one of the street scene that's very vibrant red. I like them both.
I have an image soaking at home now in a very cheap broiling pan that has begun to rust through...the image is absorbing some of the rust, giving it a nice uneven reddish hue. I am hoping for some interesting results from that.

Well, it wasn't much of a success. The images rusted nicely, however I just didn't like the pictures themselves so I'm not linking the onto my site. However, I can post them here anyway so you can see what it looks like.
I also took two blank sheets of matte paper, rusted them for over a day, and will try a modpodge transfer to one and a straight print to the other (hopefully that won't screw up my printer heads). That might be interesting. Acutally, I kind of want to just frame the rusted paper alone because it looks so cool. :)
