WHAT I DID: I changed the bulbs in my "dock" lamp so that almost half of them are blue. It definitely helped with having a more subtle flow of color and the mood more correctly matches my intentions now. I tried out a bunch of inkjet photo transfers. Of course some were more successful than others. I also tried transferring onto glass and plexiglass with acrylic gel. I have some ideas as far as content and new images I need to take so I've started gathering materials to do some shooting. Once I have the transferring technique decisions made and the correct images it will be simple to put the two together.

WHAT I DISCOVERED: That with inkjet prints, I'm not crazy about the transfers. However, I do like straight prints on fabric, plastic, and especially vellum. I found out that gel transferring doesn't work with inkjet prints. I had success with transferring a magazine image onto glass and some success transferring a laser printed photo onto plexi.

WHAT'S NEXT: Continuing to figure out the best technique/materials to get the desired effect. Also. doing some shooting this week so I have images I actually want to use for my final work. Lisa did finally reply to my email and I have a polaroid camera now so I'm still pursuing that process on the side.
