I printed one of my photos on what I thought was transfer paper. It was t-shirt transfer paper and started melting when I put it in water. I saved it and ironed it onto a wooden gessoed board. I outlined some areas with a sharpie then painted negative shapes with gouche. I started seeing birds, a seahorse, a penguin, an elephant... kind of like when you stare up at clouds or at water stains on the wall. It was fun.
I printed another version on letrazan and decided to trace over parts of it with acetate. I put the acetate over my painting. I like the layered effect. Not sure how to attach it.

how did the crit go on the new work?
