Whereabouts in Ohio? My sister-in-law just moved to Florida to get
away from the Cleveland area (because of the rough winters.) I still
have another sister-in-law in that same area.

Maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing, I think I've heard other people
call it that too, but. . .(I took an Alternative Processes class last
semester and that's what we called it then.) In the book Breaking
the Rules, they have it under magazine rubbings and under xerox. But
you take a color xerox reproduction of a photograph or slide and using
lacquer thinner, tuoluene, or xylene you can transfer the image to a
piece of watercolor paper or any other paper. You put the xerox image
face down on the receiving paper and spread the thinner substance on
the backside. Use some sort of brayer tool against the back of the
image. I've heard people use the back of spoons, brayers, rolling
pins - all sorts of things.
