   There are many, many ways to transfer images. One easy way to transfer copies of actual photos is as follows: Make an inkjet copy of your photo onto t-shirt transfer copy paper. Cut out the part of the image that you want to transfer, put your conditioned clay on a tile or other baking surface (you don't want to move your clay after burnishing your copy to it) put your copy on the clay and burnish it with a knitting needle or similar burnisher. After you have it well burnished so that the whole image is touching the clay, set it aside for one hour. Then, bake in a 266 degrees F for 5 minutes. Then carefully peel back the copy paper and your picture should be on your clay. You can then place that on other clay or however you need to complete your item or just bake it for the remaining time, following the clay manufacturer's directions.
   Another way to make a transfer is to make a black and white copy, color it in with colored pencils, staying inside the lines, unlike grade school, it really does matter so that your lines will show up on the clay ; ), and burnish that to your clay surface on your baking surface, and then bake for 10 minutes, or more (see below) at the manufacturer's directions. Then carefully peel off the paper and your picture will be transfered onto the clay. The timing on this may vary, depending on the brand of pencils you use, I usually lift up just a tiny bit on a corner of the paper to see if it's transfered enough. You can just do a small piece of clay with a test scribble of paper on it to check the transfer rather than using your design until you know how your pencils transfer.
   Most of the books available have copy methods, and almost all of them are different, some using toner copies, some with water-slide transfers, others use gin to remove the paper from the clay. If you Google "transfer images polymer clay," you will find a lot of information available. It's so wonderful that polymer clay artists are so willing to share their knowledge, there is a plethora of information available on-line. If you check out polymerclaycentral.com, you will find a wealth of information available, and almost any pc question you could think of is answered at glassattic.com. A great, caring group of which I'm a member is yahoo group, CITY-o-Clay.
   I hope this helps. Have fun!
   Smiles, Sue
