Playing With Image Transfers Book Trailer from Courtney Cerruti on Vimeo.

Now that Playing with Image Transfers has been out and about for a week, I've had a moment to think about what an incredible journey its been! I am continuously inspired by the students and friends who show me how great beauty can be achieved with the simple techniques and methods of transfers. Thank you all!

Just a reminder, if you instagram, follow me @ccerruti and #PlayingWithImageTransfers if you'd like to share a project or ask a question. I am addicted to instagram and love sharing and finding inspiration there.

Also, I'll be selecting 5 winners who leave a review on Amazon of the book to receive an Image Transfer Kit just in time for some hand crafting this Holiday! Be sure to leave a review in order to win!!!

Image Transfers on Everything

A fun little collection of image transfer projects from the book, and from classes. Its amazing how versatile image transfers are. I find that I use them on paper in quick correspondence, in gift wrap, on fabric, on wood, on metal on anything almost!  They can be immediate are spontaneous or the base of a mixed media piece as just one of many layers. They more I play, the more I love them. 

Drawings on Totes and Tees

Having a lot of fun drawing these days. I've been making so many of these little ladies at night. They are quick and fun to sketch up and I just love them. Added them to Society6 to see what they would look like large and on other items.... verdict? I ordered myself two totes!!!

Enjoy!

Paper Flowers

 I do a lot of my crafting, painting and paper play at night... Making a few oversized paper flowers for a wedding this weekend!

Mail Art

I've been sending a lot of correspondence lately... These are a few cards I made one night when I was stuck in a hotel room on a bitterly cold evening. I bought a kids set of brush markers in red, blue and yellow and used them to make these postcards... I really like the results of having the limitation of 3 colors. Sometimes, I think all the choice you have when at home in your studio can keep you from creating...
