Athenæum is inspired by vintage book covers and interior pages, including The Bird by Jules Michelet and a Pride and Prejudice cover by Jane Austen. Rooted in the idea of an athenaeum—a place devoted to learning, culture, and the quiet exchange of ideas—this collection evokes the romance of old libraries, well-loved pages, and stories passed from hand to hand.
Why You’ll Love It
The coordinated academia, birds, book covers, book pages, foil transfer, and gilded transfer can be used whole, cut apart, layered, or divided across multiple projects for furniture, small décor, signs, journals, and mixed-media work.
More Info
Athenaeum IOD Foil Transfer 8x12 Pad is a pressure-sensitive gilded foil transfer by Iron Orchid Designs. The metallic artwork releases from its carrier sheet through firm burnishing onto a properly prepared surface.
Size
8 × 12 inches transfer pad.
How to Use
Start with a clean, dry, fully cured surface. For best adhesion and foil clarity, seal painted or porous surfaces with a water-based satin or semi-gloss sealer and allow it to dry thoroughly. Keep the transfer on its backing until placement is confirmed. Cut out the desired element if needed, remove the backing, secure with low-tack tape, and burnish with the included tool. Lift the carrier slowly; if any detail remains, lower it and burnish that area again.
How to Care For
Keep unused sheets on their backing, clean and flat, away from humidity and extreme temperatures. Once applied, protect the design with two coats of a compatible water-based topcoat. Avoid matte sealers when you want to preserve the brightest foil sheen, and avoid harsh solvent-based finishes.
