A friend gave me this image of a bee years ago that I did a painting of (and sold) and I have always loved this bee, looking for a way to make small affordable art pieces I got this image out and started to play. I tried all sorts of image transfer techniques and none worked on the plaster, so I got out some art paper cut it to fit the copier and on one I did a drawing and then transferred the image there and on another I painted the paper with oil. Then I tore it to fit on my prepared boards, these were done with venetian plaster, oil and graphite. They are 6"x 6" and 3/4" on the sides. I am going to be listing them in my ETSY site tomorrow and I will be selling them for $25 for now. I plan on doing more with each one different and I will be playing with other image transfers as well. I am also working on 3 paintings that I will share soon. I always love to know what you think. Happy Saturday! XOXO

i think they turned out brilliant annie! all those steps it takes, it sounds complicated, but you are the master!
Annie these should fly out the shop. They are really lovely!
These are fabulous! I just bought a (mono) laser printer and hope to do some transfers - I was thinking in my art journal - but oh the possibilities.
Bet they don't last long in your shop.
xxoo
great idea. bees are so magical. i have never been able to do transfers, trying various methods. these came out great.
Lori, Robyn, Judy and Suki,Thank you, your comments always mean a lot to me!xoxo
These are super great!
I'm also imagining them done with the edges of the transfer re-plastered, incorporating it right down into the work already done on the boards.
Really nice work, Annie!
This technique works well for you. I can see you playing with all new possibilities. I hope you had a wonderfully creative weekend.
