Hey Linda! Almost any color paint will transfer an image or text as long as they are light enough and the print should be high contrast..😘

Great video Caterina, a really good tutorial. Thank you both so much. Have a great holiday. Xx

Make several copies ... use a light or white fabric and the best mediums would be Omni Gel, Gel Medium or an adhesive like PVA...😘

Great idea to show and compare the different mediums in one video. I've never heard of omnigel so I appreciate that in particular. I never thought I was a fabric book person but you are slowly converting me!

Thank you! You've inspired me to make a cloth journal and I am loving it so far. I appreciate your tutorials. I have been doing transfers onto paper not fabric, and I LOVE the fabric! I use Mod Podge which pretty much works the same as gel medium. Hope you are enjoying your holiday, we are still in lock down here in Northern Ontario Canada. Cia (Chow?) for now!

Hi Cat and Don, thanks so much for the video. This time I wrote copious notes and put them in my Resource Binder. I’ve done a few experiments with the tea dying on the fabric, but have more to do. And of course working on several projects. Have fun in the sun on your vay-cay. Love to both of you. C4N 🌿🌸🌱😘❤️

Que bella! How beautiful 💕 I love the difference in texture you get from each medium. Will this work with a colour print, or does it only work with black ink? And if it did work with a colour print, do you think the colour would fade over time, or does the medium give it some UV protection maybe...? Thanks for sharing m'dear 🌿💕🎨🖌🌿

Grazie!! It will work with color too, but they can lose clarity if they are too detailed. As for a gel medium cover.. it will protect it, but all art should be kept away from sunlight.. it really won’t save it from UV. 😘
