emulsion transfer

During class we learnt about a technique called emulation transfers. This technique involved pressing the image from a copy onto brown paper without any tools. We started by usin brown paper and create a thick layer or emulation paint over the top (the same length of the image) 
We then placed the image facing down onto the wet pair and became pressing. After pressing we waited until the paint was dry and collected a bowl of water. We used out finger tips after being dipped in water to rub at the paper. This water wore away the paper and left behind the image which had been transferred onto the emulation paint. We were eventually left with an image on brown paper. 
I have myself two attempts but didn't find the images came out clear enough to see  sharp enough. I decided the images looked almost like someone trying to escape and liked the outcome. If I was to do it again I would use a different image and maybe try and work more with the wet finger tips and see what's different. Below are my attempts, the first A3 the second A2. 

THESE ARE MY IMAGES:
