Print on tracing paper - after the ink dries, spray 5 -6 light coats of Krylon (Wal-Mart carries it) clear spray in it to seal it (unless you are using a laser printer) and then decopague it on the block - or you can use a transparency cut to the size of the front of the block and spray craft glue on the block and the back of the transparency - cover with 5 -6 light coats of spray paint letting it dry between coats.

Here's a link that will help you. A gal on the Carol Duval Craft Show made these a few years ago and I saved the site. She printed the pics out on vellum which is a transparency that had adhesive on the back. There is a website called "thevintageworkshop" which sells the adhesive vellum. You might also find it at Michael's or Joann's.

Would love to see your block after it's finished, it sounds really pretty.

You can print it on a transparency also. I have InkJet transparencies - but if you don't want to buy them - you could probably go to a copy shop with your photo and have them copy the picture onto transparency film.

It does sound neat!

I'm curious as to what a copy shop might charge for making a copy on a tranparency. Anyone have any idea? Luvs
