Image Transfers on Bottlecaps


My daughter, Michelle, made these Image Transfer bottle caps using our new ITS paper and toner based images. I especially like the black and white images created using our home B&W Laser Printer. Notice that the text she printed is backwards on one of the bottlecaps. This is why you need to reverse images with text before transferring. She thinks it's cool anyways, you can always hold it up to a mirror to read the (secret) message. We are going to try layering another image on the blue patterned cap at the lower right. (I will post layered techniques in a future post). ITS also works well as a varnish to finish the surface and to protect the images.
