Second Thursday Tutorial a week late

I'm here today with a project I started on Sunday.

This is the actual cup I steeped the Lipton tea in on Tuesday.  For some reason, I thought I had taken photos of when I first wrapped the WHITE bed sheet before I added it to the hot tea.  However, it looks like this is the first photo I took, which is after I removed the tea stained fabric from the cup.

Wow, I should NOT have tried to photograph this on my work table, because it was still dripping wet.

I wasn't very impressed with the results after the fabric had dried.

Although there are a few marks left from the rubber band, for the most part, this fabric will need to be overdyed.

But I was on a mission to use some of this fabric, so I tore a strip and printed some bees using my new laser printer.  Note the CitraSolv and foam brush, too.

I turned the bee images toward the fabric and secured the paper to the fabric with low tack tape.

I poured a small amount of CitraSolv into the lid of the cleaner.

I brushed the CitraSolv onto the page of bees.  I knew I had enough when I could see the bees clearly through the paper.

Next it was time to rub the images and transfer the ink to the fabric.  Some people use spoons, but I can hold these scissors better, so that is what I used.

I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed until I thought my hand would fall off (OK, slight exaggeration, but it was a LONG time).

And NOTHING.  Not only was my tea dye less than successful, I wasn't able to transfer these bees to the fabric.  I know I did something wrong, but for the life of me, I have no idea what.  I know I used a toner based laser print and rubbed like crazy.  I will try this again, using different images.  Sadly, my Second Thursday Tutorial for March was a flop from beginning to end.

Thanks for joining me as I experiment and ask "what if?"

UPDATE: Several have asked about the paper and the toner.  Here are a couple of places I used.

First I went here:

This is where I learned about it, but now it appears the site is down.

Then I found this tutorial:

The author of this tutorial states you must use copies that use CARBON BASED TONER.  Not sure what my toner is, but this may be why I can't make this transfer.  Also, apparently the WEAVE of the fabric makes a difference, too.  I used an old bed sheet that I tea dyed.  I'm sure it is a very loose weave, but it's so old and the tag is long gone that tells what the thread count is.
