Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to have to check that out.

Hi Dawn,
Xtine, is pronounced X' teen (for Christine)
Jones Tones foil is metallic foil on a backing of plastic, It is widely

used
to make metallic designs on T shirt , and for that purpose used with a
special glue. to use it with PC you place it shiny face towards you and

you
scrape more than burnish firmly with the sharp edge of your slicing blade,
and then you rip off the foil with a fast strong pull otherwise not all

the
foil sticks to the clay. JT foils comes in several colors ( not all of

them
transfers well though) and is available through notions businesses and of
course at polymerclay-express.com. With my technique since you want the

foil
to adhere only to the transfered ink, you need only to scrape one or to

time
crosswise, if you scrap too much the foil will stick also to the non inked
part.
voilà
hope this helps

Hi Xtine, (how is that pronounced?) That technique sounds very

interesting.
I might have an application in my own work for that. I've never heard of
Jones Tones foil though. Is it like a gold leaf equivalant? Also when

you
say to burnish with the sharp side of your blade I can't quite picture

that
in my mind. I always think of burnishing using a rounded smooth object.

Dear poly friends,

I developped a new technique to tranfer Jones Tones foil to inked clay!
First you photocopy a nice picture with a toner base ink , then you

apply
the copy face down on your clay. You burnish slightly and you apply

acetone
( in your hardware store) with a Q-tip. The transfer on clay is

instant.
Then you place the piece of Jones Tones foil nice side up, you burnish

one
or two time each side with the sharp side of your slicing blade . Then

you
rip off the foil and Voilà!!!! the metallic part has transfered only

to
the
inked part! :-)
