Just another comment–The TranzIt! dries so quickly that it is important to have images ready to apply to it. I have never had any bubble and no one in my classes/demos (about 80 paricipants) has ever had any bubbles. I’m sure it is because by the time it is burnished, it is completely dried before curing. Again, it dries fast! I have found though with most clays, the inks do not transfer well until the clay is cured using the TranzIt—but this is with the papers in the tutorial.

I have done transfers onto raw clay as Donna does (Took her class when she was doing them and soaking in water to remove paper), but I prefer any method that allows the image to be applied and the paper peeled off leaving the image.

There must be more methods to transfer images than any other technique we use with polymer clay. I have had varying degrees of results depending on the methods, papers, wet mediums, brands of clays, cured, uncured–you name it. What is most important is to find the finished effect (and there is a huge range of effects) that one desires and be able to get those results consistently. And unfortunately with the change in formulas of papers and clays, this becomes difficult.

Off to a Kim Cavender workshop at Artists’ Oasis today. Hope to find the Rinse-Away paper there.

A mini review–Kim Cavender gave a short demo yesterday at Artists’ Oasis. Tips, tips and more tips. She is a great teacher.

Jeanne, it’s interesting that you’ve transferred onto PC using a gel medium. I’ve always used LPC as a wet medium since I was afraid the acrylic components in the gel mediums would bubble when being cured. However, the Rinse-Away Paper doesn’t need a medium to transfer the image. In fact, Donna Kato does direct transfers on raw clay by just printing onto cheap copy paper using her laser printer, wetting the image and rubbing off the paper–all on UNCURED clay. It’s the same principle, but with the Rinse-Away paper, you don’t have to worry as much about smudging the image as you rub off the paper. Thanks for sharing your techniques…you’ve obviously spent a lot of time experimenting!

Just a little note. I have used the Tranz It! gel medium with some of the photo papers on polymer clay and it makes wonderful transfers. In fact there is a Strathmore paper that is my favorite when using the TranzIt!. The best transfers ever and the paper peels right off–no soaking, no rinsing. I tried transfers using the directions on the TranzIt! container and even with six different brands of transparencies, none of them worked good enough to get a recognizable image. The directions on my TranzIt! container says to use the medium with an inkjet printer. I have not used the Rinse-Away paper and had hesitated purchasing it since the TranzIt directions were so far off or were so lacking in details. At any rate, I am very happy to see your report. If you want to see how I use the TranzIt!, it is at http://www.heartofclay.com/page39.htm. I’ll pick up some of the Rinse-Away and see how I like it.
