Transferring Images into your Altered Book

[@cassandrac19]

i just wanted to say thank you, so much. There hasn't been much joy in my life lately, my father had a heart attack and seizure a few years ago and i have been caring for him, its been rough to say the least and art is my only escape. Finding your videos has helped me so much. I have started my altered book and have already done a few pages using your videos, i did the pockets with the string and the window page and i am having a blast! Also i think putting on underpants is my favorite part lol I get to relax and bond with my page. so fun! You have truly made a difference in my life. Thank You!

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh my goodness c derubeis....thank you for this heartwarming comment! i am so sorry life is hard right now...and i am so delighted that you are playing on the table with 'us'...art can truly make a difference! thank you so much for appreciating the underpants...yep...bonding time for sure! thank you thank you thank you c derubeis! see you on the table...

[@susancalvert1071]

My husband has Alzheimer's, had to leave my fantastic job to be his caretaker. Like you life is hard. Was great finding this craft. Don't watch TV and wanted some joy. Cannot wait to try some of these ideas. Thanks for sharing

[@robinsutton4952]

c derubeis art is healing your soul. Let all the feelings flow into your work. Love from an art sister who is also starting a journey. My husband is showing signs of dementia.

[@renig5059]

Can’t believe I have been following u for the past 3 years from not even 1k to 29k.U have inspired so many people, a celebrity in altered books. I am in awe at every video u post, with some new ideas, and u,ve been so open with us, a true model... thank u 👍🏻👩🏻‍🎨

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh my goodness renigrunhut...you have been here with me the whole time giving me support! and for that i am eternally grateful! art is to be shared....right renigrunhut? yep...thank you for your comments...always...see you on the table girlfriend...

[@sharonrazmzan8097]

I was just thinking that my sewing patterns don’t look like that! Lo and behold- your next comment was “stamped “ pattern tissue. Ahhhh... lightbulb moment. Lol. Learning with each video. Thanks again.

[@lorrimarie2002]

i have to keep you guessing...sometimes sharon! lol....we are all learning with each video! see you on the table...

[@elfincrafter]

I have had random results with transfers in the past, but I recently discovered your channel and saw this video. I was immediately in love & needed to try. I had patience & waited for each layer of Matt medium (no mod podge) & then when ready, I added it to my art journal page. I then walked away for a whole day!! (I have another journal I'm working in) Success!!!!! It worked really well!! I used a colour magazine image of rocks & sea. I painted the page light blue. Wish I had seen sense to put white where rocks would be but I am thrilled with it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.❤😊❤

[@lorrimarie2002]

well good morning paula...i love success stories! yay! thank you for sharing with me! see you on the table paula!

[@elfincrafter]

I am so thrilled with how it turned out, that I have shared it across my social media platforms. I think I have linked it to you so that you are able to view the results. I am know as Minibookpixie on Instagram ( used to make lots of tiny books full of people's photos, for them to give as gifts, that's where the name comes from. Oh & I'm not quite 5 foot in height!!!)

[@catherinegoldie3432]

[@lorrimarie2002]

[@louisecarr3349]

I've just discovered your channel... I'm new to all this and usually create as I'm watching using the techniques shown... I listen to all the videos and and would just like to say I love your videos and I would watch them all the way thru no matter how long they are. Xx

[@lorrimarie2002]

wow louise....that is really quite a statement...lol...thank you so much for joining 'us' on the table...i spend a lot of time editing the videos...(chopping and rearranging....and discarding the un needed....LOVE THAT)...i am so grateful that you are willing to hang in there!!! thank you again louise for the comment...and....see you on the table!!!1

[@dandames7824]

Hey Gurl, I LOOOVE these transfer techniques. Unless it was with mailing tape, I never had any luck with the technique. THIS is the first time it has worked out every time. Thank you SO much...and so easy. I also adore the black stamping on the yellowed sewing paper added to it all. Never quite knew what to do with all that yummy thin paper. Now I do.Keep up all the interesting tutes! You are the best LM!

[@lorrimarie2002]

Dan Dames fun technique,right? I struggled with the transfers too! Glad you are having SUCCESS! Yay! Send me photos of your pieces. [e-mail]. See you on the table!!

[@tegmapat11]

Just wondered if you're a retired art teacher? You are the best at instructing, ad because I have a hearing problem, I do appreciate that you speak well and have the sound turned up. Anyhow, your techniques are fantastic, and I'm so glad I somehow stumbled into your tutorials! I stayed up half the night listening to every one of them as your teachings are the best ever and I knew I'd never sleep if I didn't watch everything. Now I will go back and absorb more.... Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@lorrimarie2002]

[@ashphoenix5447]

I like the analogy of mixed media is like making soup. That resonates with me as that's how I make soup. Every time is a slightly different recipe. Thx. Just finished pulling pages out of an old book & gluing some back & front pages for stability...and away we go! lol

[@lorrimarie2002]

i find that my art is very much like that....like making the soup...recipe? yeah...no...whatever is left in the fridge...into the pot...not going to happen twice the same, right? that is what i find so charming about the mixed media and the altered books....what is lying around on the desk....(and yes, the floor)...onto the page! i am so glad you have saved a book from the landfill and you are going to make it into a divine treasure! see you on the table ashs...

[@gaila.c.602]

Hi LorriMarie! I've been spending this weekend binge-watching a lot of your videos (started back at the beginning)! I heard you talking about having to use a laser printer, or the images may smear when you apply mod podge, or whatever, on top. You may have heard by now, but in case you don't know, you can tell your students and followers to try workable fixative on printed inkjet images. It works pretty good! I usually apply a couple of coats, letting each coat dry well before applying the next. Love your videos, thanks! Oh and btw, I found your channel through Dawn Calvin (Let's Make a Mess Today).

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh gail....thank you so much for your informative comment...and we love let's make a mess today!!! i love your tips about the fixative and will try to remember to pass that along to those that have inkjet printers....thank you! and thank you for binging on the videos!!! i see that you are visiting the older ones...so many videos to devour! thank you for the support gail! see you on the table...

[@paintsewer]

Loved this, have never tried the transfer, but I am now...Every page is a artwork in its self...When you painted the page green I almost said yuck (ok, maybe I did) It is really awesome the way it turned out...I have to find some pattern sheets, cus I know I have so...Thanks so much for this video, truly enjoyed! now on to the next!

[@lorrimarie2002]

i would think it would be really hard to watch these pages come to life....i would be screaming 'NO....DON'T DO THAT!' but then i do it! lol...i am (usually) very happy with the end results but there is alot that happens between the beginning and the end of the piece....right? sometimes i say 'yuck' too...lol! thanks for the comment jean...go create, go play, go find those sewing patterns and go have fun!

[@paintsewer]

You sure be happy at the end results, it was stunning! Also thanks for the video to watch on another video I watched...Think I got the idea, now I need to start over and do it with you..Thanks so much for your answers, I truly enjoy your teaching method!

[@lorrimarie2002]

Back in the "days of the dinosaurs" i.e. the 70's, I took a craft class. In that class we transferred magazine pictures to wood. The pictures were a glossy print. I have forgotten the product we used to do this. Have you heard or done this? If so what is the product used to cause the photo to transfer onto wood or paper?

Does it matter which mod podge we use? Glossy or mat?

[@lorrimarie2002]

i use the matte modpodge because it does not stick to the other pages....but if you have the glossy....give it a whirl...

[@disturbedwonderland]

Can you do a transfer on a textured page or is better to stay with just paint? Thank you pretty lady?

[@lorrimarie2002]

[@valeriepurcell5229]

Is it possible to overlap transfer images over each other: given that one lets the first transfer thoroughly dry & would one have to put a sealant layer over the first image before one attempts the second image? Have you tried that? Thanks again!

I have a question, the books you use are the pages glued or sewn to the spiney , hope this makes alittle sense? Is one book better than the other or it doesn't matter.

Hi Lori, Marie Will you use the alcohol on your paintings and you flip it and it makes these spots what kind of alcohol do you use because I tried it with my alcohol that didn’t do anything I’ve been painting with you a long time. You do a great job God bless.

[@sparrowhawkerdesigns]

Hmmmm, I threw away two transfers last night. :-) :-) Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I rubbed the image right off of the foil so that all I got was foil with occasional brown spots. If I didn't rub down to the foil, then I couldn't get the last filmy white pieces of paper to come off. Hours and hours and nothing to show for it but raw fingers! :-( :-( I'm gonna try again today!

[@lorrimarie2002]

never give up...never surrender! make sure the foil is 'duct tape'..make sure your image is directly from a magazine or a laser print...if you still need help...let me know...we can chat! see you on the table sd...and yes...never give up...never surrender!
