Transference Techniques - Sellotape

This technique utilises Sellotape which was layered upon a print (it is necessary to not use an ink jet print as the ink is embedded such that it will not transfer). From which the paper must be moistened and rubbed away leaving the ink transferred upon the Sellotape. Additionally, the process of removing the paper must be mildly gentle as not to remove the ink from the Sellotape.
 



With the image above, the transfer worked well due to me overlapping the Sellotape as to join the Sellotape pieces together to form a sheet. I overlaid this over an ink design although this became ineffective as the colour of the ink was too intense, detracting from the image itself. In order to amend this I would use a more textured background with softer hues of colour which I believe would create a better image.


 
A similar issue occurred with the second image that I created as the dark, intense colour detracted from the image.
