For my second alternative process assignment, I chose to do a gel transfer. After finally choosing images that benefit the idea of this medium (What I can do with them) I started painting on the gel! I decided to have four images of flowers in black & white to show the beginning of the summer weather, so I took pictures of all the flowers planted in my front yard. As I initially wanted to make patches -- I expanded from that idea and created another print for my bag (Last Photo). I used about 20 layers gel acrylic. In all, a gel transfer is very neat, I love how it can stretch out and that it's transparent! This alternative process is my favourite.
