Try to just slightly dampen your finger - not the image - and rub briskly, but lightly. You'll start to get a feel for it. When it gets to that point where it's just dull with a bit of fuzz it's all about being careful not to go too far and pull up the image, so it's a fine balance. Rub until you think it's done, Blow it dry to bring up the fuzz/dullness and repeat until you get the clarity you desire.<BR/>Let me know if it works next time!<BR/>KarinKarin Bartimolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490920503677450338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-83424362003320681692008-10-09T18:53:00.000-04:002008-10-09T18:53:00.000-04:00I have used that method but it never comes out as ...I have used that method but it never comes out as clear as yours has.

Once the gel has dried (expedited by a hair drier!) you dampen the back of the copy paper and begin to gently rub. The paper slowly but surely peels away, leaving behind the image. To get the print to read correctly, I copied it and flipped it horizontally in photoshop first, or I'd have gotten a mirror image. My new post (oct 8th) uses this technique as well, with a drawing of a figure I did, and copied, reduced, reduced, and made many images of. Have fun with it!<BR/>KarinKarin Bartimolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490920503677450338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-52322260728549542352008-10-09T02:01:00.000-04:002008-10-09T02:01:00.000-04:00Great Medusa blogging.

I think men are so afraid of the thoughts in a woman's head. They conjured up all kinds of evil for us, based on their own motives and fears. I think Medusa got caught up in the fray.Odd Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491857123680885221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-89449926819455575622008-10-06T12:13:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:13:00.000-04:00Gorgeous images and blog.

Keep up the creative innovations! Are you keeping up with what your passion in life has caused you to become? If so, then you feel good and you are permitting yourself to life with newfound resolve. How you feel tells you if you accept or resist what you do in this moment. When you get who you are and you attune to your core feelings, then you begin to realize you exert an inner power of influence to inspire others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
