Stone Printing

[psychia]

Items you need:

stone, image (from newspaper or something), special liquid, special glue, brush, blowdryer

One example!

The process! :3

1. Choose an image from a newspaper.


2. Prepare the water blah, brush and special liquid and glue.


3. Brush the special liquid on the image.


4. Coz I'm lazy, I used this to dry. Repeat steps 3 and this one. You need 7 layers.


5. Cut and soak in water.


6. Now, turn it over. Using your fingertips, rub the paper off gently. :3


7. Zomg, a stone and the thing we got from the previous processes.


8. Anyway, after dirtying my hands with glue and stuff and drying it, here's what I have:

Forum > Creativity Corner > Miscellaneous > Stone Printing


Thought i placed it in the right place? But do as you wish. :3

Hmm, I think you use the liquid/glue to smoothen the stone's surface, then paint on, and finish with glaze to protect the colors.

Anyway, ignore Checkmate - it's in the right section. He probably got confused and thought this was the Miscellaneous section under Downloads.

Nah, I'm no artist. I can doodle, that's all.haha

maybe i should work on something and provide pictures. here's what happens:

1. i take the image print and brush the special liquid on the part of the image i want and dry it, repeat this step 7 times.

2. the liquid hardens and i soak print in water. one side is the hardened liquid and the other side's the paper. then i gently rub off the paper after it's soaked fully.

3. what's left is the image now transferred to the hardened special liquid . i brush the stone with special glue and attach the image to it.

4. stretch the picture til it covers the stone. take a knife and cut the unnecessary parts to smoothen the corners.

i'm sure there's a better (fancier?) way to this but this is quite fun, if a bit messy. haha <3



look! it's an egg. meh, it's too dark. this picture was from the newspaper. the other stuff i made i gave away. : o

Do the same thing as above, but use a special ink that react to ultraviolet light. Paint some nice symbol on little stones.

Place those stone under the ultraviolet light

Done >>> ??????? >>> PROFIT!!!!!
