day five of
'Roid Week 2008
i only had one left. even though i did get my new/old polaroid, my batteries didn't get here. so i'll have to shoot polaroids a day late for roid week.
here's another emulsion transfer. which is basically soaking a polaroid in warm water until the emulsion covering on top of the picture separates from the paper backing. once that has happened, you have a thin film that you can put on anything from paper to pottery and it will "transfer" the picture to that medium.

I was drawn by the unique look of this.
(Yeah, and I like the light and subject
matter...what a great place you live!) Thanks
for the little art idea and lesson. I showed
it to my wife, who teaches arts for children
and adults at her gallery/studio in our
little community. Now I have visions of
munchkins wandering the village to find their
"picture", then coming to take the
Polaroid, then back to the studio to make
their art. Thanks, teach.

That IS pretty cool!!!
I see some experiments in my very near
future......
You leave the thin film on whatever you're
applying it to??
Do you seal it with something after it
dries??
I love all those boats docked so closely
together!! It's a great shot kburki!!

Wow! Thank you for the explaination. That is
so cool! You must have a whole lot of
patience to get this effect. What an neat way
to experiment with different mediums.

I read in the Hooligan that they're going to
stop making polaroid film soon. Whatever
shall you do then? :o

I love the 'torn and tattered' effect that
you've achieved in this image. It is amazing
work! I think this belongs on the first page
of Explore!!

new. Makes me wonder
where my old polaroid is...

I still haven't done this, and I have
sooooooo many 669 shots laying around. Do you
prefer any particular paper for this process?

i've really not done that much of it so i
haven't tried that many different types of
paper. i'm about to try some broken pottery.
i also tried some slightly smoother drawing
paper, which i liked quite well. but
everything just seems to bring a little
something different out. thanks for stopping
by! do it, do it, do it!! i will say that
the water has to be quite hot (almost
boiling). when it starts to bubble a little,
i transfer it to touchable hot water, and it
comes right off.
