Creative Image Transfer Any Artist, Any Style, Any Surface: 16 New Mixed-Media Projects Using Tap Transfer Artist Paper

Click for Creative Image Transfer !
Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) is a polymer-coated paper that allows artists to print, draw, or paint a design and transfer it to a different surface via the heat from a household iron. Though it was originally intended for use on fabric, TAP can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including paper, metal, wood, and glass, making it a versatile tool for mixed-media crafters and scrapbookers. Riley, who invented TAP for her own work, curated this collection of 16 projects using the paper in a variety of ways--including art quilts, a handmade journal, printed boxes, and a flour-sack towel impressed with a family recipe.
