[Frameworks] First time experiment, need words from the wise

Didn't read through all these posts - but in case someone hasn't mentioned this:

I made a film with photocopy transfers using this type of blender marker, available at most art supply stores. Advice: wear a mask - it will make you lightheaded, and you will need a few!

Best of luck! - Jo Dery

Wonderful, thanks Jodie, Rick and ZZZ... Jodie, the tape transfer intrigues me... we'll see if it is a success over here. I'd like to try newspaper. Z, did the hair dryer give you the cracks? I like it, esp those pinks! That's the density I'd like to achieve. All of that is with rapidograph? 

Thank you kindly!
