(a) providing a pattern sheet with the pattern pre-
printed
thereon in a water soluble medium;
(b) covering the area with a water-based surface
preparatory composition that has an initial first state that
allows it to be spread onto the surface of the item as a
viscous preparatory layer yet which cures into a final state
to form a stably layer adhered to the surface, said selected
medium being selected as one that will transfer onto said
surface preparatory composition when int he [sic, in the]
initial state;
(c) contacting said preparatory layer with said pattern
sheet for a sufficient time to allow said medium to transfer

sufficiently viscous to allow it to spread onto the surface
of the item as a preparatory layer, said surface
preparatory composition being selected from a group consisting
of: water-based non-animal glues, water-based animal glues,
water-based pastes and egg white;
(b) providing a pattern sheet with the pattern formed
thereon in a medium that will transfer onto said surface
