Wow. WOW.Transfers are a tricky lot. Transfers can be frustrating. One method can produce a perfect transfer once...then never seem to work again. Failed transfers have resulted in many of my pieces being trashed. Even though they are temperamental - and seem to be for everyone - Darlene Olivia McElroy and Sandra Duran Wilson have broken the mold and tamed the wicked ways of transfers. Or at least explained how to make them behave for artists.With all the problems one encounters while attempting transfers, it's amazing more artists just don't give up. I personally know of many who have. Enter the authors of this book...and your success rate could dramatically rise. Into the stratosphere. You can easily go from hating transfers and not using them - at all...ever - to using them on everything standing still. This book makes that much of a difference.There are tons of methods depicted. An example of each method is demonstrated in a piece by one of the talented authors. My favorite part? The "Troubleshooting" section. Even with the excellent guidance of these Transfer Divas, you will have transfers go awry. Why? They will explain possible reasons - and then give you solutions! (Can you hear the trumpets sounding?) These gals lay out the necessary supplies, give explicit directions, do incredible step outs, tell you the archival quality of each method, troubleshoot problems, and give you ideas on recommended substrates. What more could you want...seriously??The Transfer Divas (which is what I've renamed these ladies) even have a section in the back about where to purchase supplies. Schwing! The instructions are simple and doable - and it's exciting to know transfers are actually possible. Whether you have success or need help, the Transfer Divas have a great website set up - and they are accessible. I had a question about one of the products, so I emailed Darlene. She responded with the answer - in just a few hours. Yay!In case you can't tell, I love this book. I'm excited that transfers are possible. I'm thrilled the directions are easily laid out. I'm enthralled the Transfer Divas took the time to test so many methods, laid them out so clearly, and wrote such an all-around fantastic book. If you find transfers appealing, you must get your hands on this book. Several of the methods use things you most likely already have in your studio - and if you don't, they are easily acquired. I think the most expensive item they use is Yupo paper - and even that isn't horribly expensive.Transfers lend a great extension to any art piece - having this book will give you options for many methods, and increase your success rate astronomically. Love the Transfer Divas - love the book!!

I've had a chance to read through this book and it has gotten me very excited about playing with image transfers again.There are a wide variety of techniques demonstrated. From simple projects you can start right, away even if you don't have many art materials at home, to the more involved projects that may require the collection of materials first. The instructions are easy to follow and are filled with excellent photographs of each step. Projects start with a breakdown that helps prepare for each project. And each project ends with a troubleshooting section where the authors discuss what to watch out for.One of my favorite features is the materials listing for each technique. Besides helping me create a shopping list it also lets me easily pick projects I can start right away with materials I have on hand.For those interested in creating Artist Trading Cards and larger projects this book is definitely for you!Beautiful layoutFantastic photographsOutstanding instructionHighly recommended!
