No. 334,231 I did this little set of 8 pieces and I went back and forth between loving it and hating it and once I got it to a place that was not hating it I stopped. I've learned to quit while I'm ahead and am even able to do that every once in a while and rather than risk ruining the entire set I paused to figure out what was missing.
There are a variety of ways to do photo image transfers and the way I know how is to print off some images onto acetate using an inkjet printer. From there you smear a little alcohol-based hand sanitizer onto the surface you want to transfer to and then flip the printed acetate over onto the alcohol gel you smeared on and then press down. The hand sanitizer gel lifts off the ink and it evaporates pretty quickly and the results are this ghosted image of the original.

I don't like going for a perfect transfer and prefer that there is some hazy looking residue of an image left behind. [As opposed to some crisp or clean image.] It helps to add something to the pieces that are not quite completed and in this case it had the exact result I was hoping for.
I used some vintage images of the Northern Lights and some meteor showers and volcanoes erupting and one from an old photo-postcard of the Golden Gate bridge. Scans of the finished pieces as well as some overview shots plus a few of the source images are just below.
[Not sure what I'm doing wrong that the scans just never show the neon pink like they should. But, trust me on this one, these are incredible looking in person and are some of my new favorites.]
