Enhance your purchase

Whatever art you practice, chances are you’re going to come across image transfer techniques. These valuable techniques allow you to reproduce a unique image from any source and apply it to a myriad of surfaces. The options are endless! Playing with Image Transfers is a beautiful and helpful resource that will teach you the four image transfer methods: Packing Tape, Solvent, Medium, and Acrylic transfers, while highlighting basic methods and offering projects across a range of interests and applications. You’ll learn how to make beautiful items, including gift boxes, albums, sketchbook covers, wall art, accordion books, and much more. Once you’ve mastered the techniques, you’ll also explore multiple surfaces as a base for transferring – wood, fabric, paper, canvas, and book forms. A beautiful gallery will show the use of image transfers in a wide variety of high-end artistic works to get your creative juices flowing. The “Considerations” in each chapter offer suggestions on how a single project can be expanded or further adapted if you’re looking to challenge yourself past the basics. By the time you finish this informative book, you’ll be well-equipped to use your own images in your creative work.

Maker extraordinaire, Courtney is an artist, author, collaborator and shop owner. Her books, Playing with Image Transfers, Washi Tape 101, Playing With Surface Design and Make Art Where You Are have been translated into Italian, French, German, Spanish and Chinese.

Her work has been featured on Oh Happy Day, Design Sponge, the SF Chronicle, Instagram, The Jealous Curator and BuzzFeed among others.

Courtney sees books as objects to be read and re-purposed, candy wrappers as paper flower petals, toilet paper tubes as a menagerie of animals. She sees the potential in the discarded, history in the mundane and art in the everyday. She saves everything, makes anything and teaches from a place of passion and authenticity. Courtney believes everyone is creative and she’d rather spend an evening drinking tea and painting than doing anything else (except maybe scavenging treasures abroad).

A great resource for an artist's library!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

Before buying this book, I really didn't know anything about image transfers. I was excited to learn a new way to make art and I kind of expected it to be difficult. It is so easy and the instructions and projects in the book are so nicely and CLEARLY done! I'm so happy with my purchase and plan to use the techniques to make a few lovely portraits to adorn my walls. Also, this book would make a great gift for my mom, a self-taught artist always looking for ways to expand her skill set and try new things. I love that there are several options covered for image transfer techniques, too. Can't wait for the next book by Courtney Cerruti!

Great inspiration and starting basics.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2017

Great for ideas, though I thought it could be a bit more detailed in the process. If you're fearful of trying new stuff, you might stall yourself in doing some of these applications, but if you like to jump in there, and see what happens, it's a great book. start small, work up to what you really want to do.

Perfect for Creative-Types Looking to Experiment with New Media or Techniques!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

Courtney Cerruti offers an excellent resource for getting started with image transfers. Her creative tutorials do not leave a single step out and even offer tips she personally uses for successful transfers. The breadth of mediums included is extensive, and the samples for each transfer are well-executed. My book is now well-loved from use, and I strongly recommend it for creative-types looking to experiment with new techniques.

I must add that I had the opportunity to meet Courtney in person during a book talk for one of her more recent projects. She is real and down-to-earth, friendly and encouraging.

Still going through all the offered techniques. This is not a primer to rush through. For me it is a work in progress.

Image Transfers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love transfers. I love the transparent effect. This book shows 5 different ways doing a transfer: Using packing tape, a blender pen,
acetone, gel skin medium transfer, and an acrylic paint transfer.

Then there are the projects she uses each of the above on. Get out your camera as she used photographs a lot.

I haven't made the time to try these yet, but I am very glad to have the book. Thank you Courtney Cerruti

A Must Have

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is so well layed out. I am a high school teacher and plan to use the projects with my students. The directions are accessible and clear making for a super fun afternoon with teens. I love Courtney's creativity and really appreciate the templates in the back of the book. Her homage to artists that use image transfer in their work is spectacular and so inspiring. Whether you are an artist or just like to look at books about artsy projects-this is a must have.

Fabulous resource!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I just received this book, and I can already tell it's going to be a fabulous resource for image transfer techniques. The book includes detailed descriptions (with clear photographs) of a variety of transfer methods. I'm always on the lookout for tips on how to make image transfers work (I still have a devil of a time with gel-medium transfers), and this book has lots of them, plus a terrific section with projects and ideas. All in a beautifully presented book full of gorgeous artwork.

This book is beautiful from the word go! It will get you digging around your draws for old photos, flicking through magazines and newspapers and planning trips to your nearest photocopier.

With simple, clear and beautiful instruction in no time it's easy to see how this could become a healthy, creative obsession. I can't wait to be creating some gorgeous gifts and treasures to give to friends.
