Title: Transfer Ink (Non-Edible)   2 tb Soap Powder,
such as Ivory -Snow (not a detergent) or -scrapings from a bar
of -soap.  1/4 c Hot Water  1 tb Turpentine   DIRECTIONS:
1. Dissolve soap powder in hot water.  2. Add turpentine.  3.
When cool, pour into a screw-top bottle.  QUANTITY: Makes about
3/4 cup.  USES: You can used Transfer Ink to make stationery,
greeting cards, and composite pictures. You can take a picture
from a magazine for a school report, transfer wallpaper designs
onto lamp shades or designs onto shirts. The possibilities are
unlimited.  TO USE: Dip a watercolor brush into the ink and
brush over the picture to be transferred. Wait about 10 seconds.
Place a piece of paper over the picture and rub the back of it
with a spoon. The picture will soon be transferred to the paper.
You can transfer an entire picture or just a portion of it by
inking only the part you wish to transfer. Comic strip
characters transfer especially well. Magazine pictures will also
transfer, but slick papers require a bit more ink. One picture
can usually be used more than once.  STORAGE: Transfer Ink may
be stored indefinitely without refrigeration. If the ink
solidifies, set the bottle in a pan of warm water until the ink
becomes liquid again. Shake well before using.  CAUTION: It is
recommended that, when making these recipes, children be
supervised to prevent accidents. It is also recommended that no
one be allowed to eat or taste any of the finished products.
