you need to teach me how to do this.
you need a bowl of hot water and another bowl of cold water.
soak image in hot water until emulsion starts loosening up, carefully peel it off the image back using a thin brush, when it comes completely loose scoop it up and plop it down in the cold water bowl.
in the cold water you can easily spread it and even everything out.
place the emulsion on your choice of back paper (i like watercolor paper):
do this in the cold water as well. once the emulsion is on the paper, carefully lift it out of the water by holding on to the emulsion a little (if you don't this it'll glide off into the cold water again).
when it's out of the water can use a brush (it has to be wet) to move the emulsion around a little to create wrinkles.
it's a bitch to do this with TIP film; the emulsion easily tears when it's in the hot water (the hot water also fucks a little with the emulsion colors, creating weird blotches) (that sometimes turn out looking pretty cool, so it's not all bad).
i have a hard time getting the emulsion to lift from the edges, and this is usually where mine tear and get fucked up.
here's the link to the TIP tutorial (you don't need to buy their kit to do this of course, but you know that already...):
