Outsorcing

I don't know if "outsorcing" is Denglish, as we call bad German English over here; today I went to the copy shop and paid 36 $ (28 Euros) for 2 copies on cloth. It would not be so much cheaper to do it with my own ink printer -- if I had one.
Then I cut patches with single nudes.

The print had not worked perfectly; in some parts, the paint did not get fixed on the cloth. It may be linnen and not cotton, it was an old bed sheet.

Then I put the pieces onto the Witches Gown and will be fixing them between snake, homunculus, eyes and bird poles. More spells are due to follow.

No Foto Transfer

I went to the quilt shop today, about 1/2 hour from my home by tube. Bought a roller cutter and variegated thread for almost 20 € both (about 26$). They did not have any aids for foto transfer. But the lady was very nice and wrote down the address of a Munich shop for me. In the online shop, I did not find anything I need. Now I'm waiting to be called back.
Well, they have the liquid, but no transfer foil.

I made up my mind.

I'll be going to a copy shop and have my photos printed out. Right now, I'm creating a large photocollage which looks like Michelangelo's Last Jugement. I'll have it printed on cloth, I will cut it into pieces and use them in the project.

The Devil Wears Prada

A film I had wanted to see for a long time -- we recorded it the other night from TV. Not all husbands would have stayed all the time; mine was fascinated. What struck me most was the business style in this magazine. The way the heroine had to adapt to the demands of her job seemed pretty tough to me. Is it really that bad?

Experiments with Foto Transfer
Today I made a few experiments, as I had planned. I tried the ideas you kindly shared in your comments.
I tried some cleaning liquid with orange oil, natural turpentine and petrol-based turpentine, but none of them worked, and not the wonder under idea either that I wrote about. The toner remained firmly fixed to the paper; I threw it all away.
Normally I don't fight with things. It works, or I look for another way to express my ideas. But in this case, I have a vision of my witch gown which has to include human forms in a very convincing way. The photos I want to be on this cloth like trophees are nudes. I want to surround them with more spells. It is all laid out in my head, but I can't go on. This is tantalizing!

You are right, Reyna, there is nothing like being taught by a personally present teacher! So sorry I cannot present any successful fruits of my studio.
Today I'm going to a quilt store trying to inquire about workshops or advice. But I have to have breakfast first, I just did not have the patience. Now that all of it went wrong I can have coffee in peace.

PS. Tried nail polish remover. No effect either.

"I'd like to have a question..."

(as a German comedian put it) ... about photo transfer. I have a b&w laser printer, enough Wonder Under, and no money to buy transfer paper or foil. Would it work, o wise women, if I iron a paper laser print onto Wonder Under, put the piece into water over night, rub the paper off and iron this thing onto cloth? Anyone ever tried such a mess?
PS. I don't have an ink printer.
