Transfer Ink

When spread on an image in a magazine or newspaper the image can (usually) be transferred to another surface.

Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons (10ml) soap powder or scrapings (not a detergent)
* 1/4 cup (60ml) hot water
* 1 tablespoon (5ml) turpentine

In a bowl dissolve the soap powder in hot water. Add the turpentine then pour into a small screw top jar.

Brush over a picture like from those from a comic book or magazine (use more for those slick magazine pictures) or from a laser printer or photocopier. Wait about 10 seconds and place a sheet of paper over it. Rub the back with a spoon. The picture can be transferred to t-shirts, paper, wood etc. and can usually be transferred more than once.
