Susan… “I have a great piece of clip art that I want to use, how can I transfer it to a page in my bible without drawing it by hand?”
Jackie… “It’s simple, grab your graphite pencil and I will show you!. This method works so well, you will be amazed you haven’t transferred images all along!
7 Simple and effective steps to transfer images using a Graphite Pencil
- Find/Size/Print/Copy the image you want to transfer (either with a laser jet printer or ink jet printer)
- Turn the paper over and rub the back of the drawing with your Graphite Pencil, this is called “carboning” the surface.
- Cut the image out of the paper to make placement more accurate
- Place image (graphite rubbed side down) where you want to transfer it.
- Simply trace the original lines of the image with a sharp pencil or ball-point pen.
- The graphite that you rubbed on the back of the paper will lightly appear on your bible page.
- Retrace with your favorite no-bleed pen/pencil

Great Darlene, I’m glad you found the project. I will have the printed graphics at church tomorrow if you are there, if not I can leave you a copy there for when you do get back there on Wednesday or whenever. Watch the two videos and try it out. This is the easiest way to transfer a line art drawing into your bible. I’m looking forward to seeing your page.
Who would have known how easy it was to transfer our favorite line art perfectly !!
Jackie, absolutely! Thanks for teaching me this easy technique!
