To transfer an image is a very interesting process. The Pitman's shorthand you see on the purse in the photo is a transferred image using Gel Medium which you can buy at your local art and craft store. It comes in a jar and is a white viscose jelly which you paint over your image, place on fabric and leave for about 12 hours then rub off the paper very carefully. So it's not quick and easy. How did you get the shorthand outlines so clear? Again, not an easy process. Where did I get the patience! The challenge I guess was a driving force. But it isn't perfect as you can see. I'm looking for people who can read shorthand. I know you're out there because I learnt with you all those years ago and now I'm hauling back the memory, the recall, and it's surprising how much one remembers when one learns by rote. Anyway this purse is a gift so that is a clue. Gambatte! Catherine from Creatifbitsnpieces on Etsy. Thanks for reading.
