Transfer pictures

Photos and drawings from newspapers can be copied easily. Mix two spoonfuls of water one spoonful of turpentine and one spoonful of liquid detergent and dab this liquid with a sponge on the newspaper page.

Lay a piece of writing paper on top, and after vigorous rubbing with a spoon the picture is clearly transferred to the paper.

Turpentine and liquid detergent when mixed form an emulsion, which penetrates between the dye and oil particles of the dry printing ink and make it liquid again. Only newspaper printing ink can be dissolved, though.
