View my complete profile Since mentioning the Splendid Blender pen (aka, Colorless Blender by Chartpak), I've had quite a few requests for a tutorial. This is a transfer method I use occasionally to add an image to fabric. I decided to demonstrate with a cute little altered bottle. I started with a laser print image (a photocopy, inkjet copies won't work), a bottle, and a  piece of grain sack material. I placed the copy face down on the grain sack material, and secured it. Make sure you are working in an area with plenty of ventilation. The Splendid Blender pen is a colorless marker, but it is not odorless. You should be able to find it at a craft store, online, or an artist supply store for a few dollars. Saturate the back of the print with the pen. This shouldn't take you more than 30 seconds, depending on the size of your image. To make my bottle, I used spray adhesive to attach the material to the bottle. I then painted the top with white gesso, and dry brushed a little on the fabric for a fresco feel.

I picked up a box full of bottles at a garage sale recently.  oster blender blstcc-bfp reviewsI think I may be making tons of these.oster blender 4172 This is the transfer method I used for the cushion on my footstool.oster blender bcbg08 parts :  If you have trouble finding the pen, I have an alternative transfer method you can check out by clicking .ninja master prep professional qb1004 at walmart Prismacolor Pencil Colorless Blenderkitchenaid blender ksb1570er Achieve color transitioning with ease and soften the edges of your color pencil artwork with Prismacolor Pencil Colorless Blender. ninja blender bl610 vs nj600

Each package contains 2 pencils. Add to wish list Follow the directions on the bottle: Print off an image using a laser printer (or make a laser copy at Kinko's) on white paper.  Use the regular image NOT the mirror image for this process. Apply a smooth coat of Omni-Gel using a foam brush.  Go in one direction over the image and a good amount around the edges. Let that dry, (it takes about 15 minutes) then go over everything in the opposite direction with another smooth coat. Let that dry, then brush on a third coat diagonally.

Let that sit in the water for about 15 minutes. (extra time in the water doesn't hurt) I put the wet image on a piece of wax paper or foil so it doesn't move much. I used to use my finger in a swirling motion to remove the paper, then I started using a micro-fiber cloth.  It is SO much faster and easier!  You may need to spray it with water or dip it back in the bowl to keep the paper damp while you're removing it. (Please excuse the different images here.  I was making a lot of things at once.)  This graphic is also from The Graphics Fairy You will want to get ALL of the paper off as it will look cloudy after you've finished your project (not good!)  if you've missed any.  Using the micro-fiber cloth really helped.  I let it dry a bit, then go back and add a little water to see if any additional paper comes up. If I'm planning to adhere the image to wood or metal, I cut it to size at this point.  I cut right along the edge of the graphic for wood or metal projects. 

If I'm going to use the image for coasters, I wait until I have applied it to the tile so it covers everything perfectly, then cut right at the edge of the tile. Then apply a coat of Omni-Gel to the back of the image and set it on the can or wooden piece.  Smooth out all of the air bubbles and let it dry. Graphic from The Graphics Fairy If you want to make fun coasters, start with a 4" tile.  I purchased mine for 38 cents each at Lowe's. Graphic from Graphique on Etsy When it's dry, sprinkle a little bit of salt on the tile and spray it with a clear sealant.  I've had the problem in the past with some tiles where wet glasses would stick to the tile.  It seems to work well to add the salt to solve this problem.

Even though the tip appears stained, future performance will not be affected. The water brush is a paint brush and water container rolled into one. Greate for traveling and convenience.

The handy tool allows for a little water for blending watercolor pencils or ink - or a lot of water, by squeezing the barrel and allowing more water to flow through the brush tip. USING THE BLENDER PEN OR WATER BRUSH WITH INK PADSStamp an image using a water based dye pad. Use the blender pen or water brush to lightly stroke the outline color into the inside areas. This will result in an image with several tones of the same color; for example, a deep blue image with lighter, "watered down" blue inside. USING THE BLENDER PEN OR WATER BRUSH WITH MARKERS Stamp an image by coloring the rubber die of the stamp with water based markers. Pull color from the outline to the center areas by stroking with the blender pen or water brush, as above. Use a blender pen or water brush to apply marker ink which has been scribbled onto a plastic plate, blending the colors just like you would blend watercolor paints with a brush. Use a blender pen or water brush to soften the stroke marks left behind when you have colored an area with water based markers.
