I've just discovered Polaroid film is fun to play with. I've created some Image Transfers and wanted to know if anyone here has played with this and has any pointers?

I've looked into that, as well as Cyanotype, so much stuff you can do with these films!

Haven't tried the technique yet, but have read alot about other peoples
experiments on the WetCanvas website.
Did a search on there for it and hope this link will work:

Hope that helps; WC is a great site BTW.
Enjoyed your pics; made me homesick for WVA.

There's a book by a Minneapolis photographer named Chris Grey that covers the art and technique of Polaroid transfers. You might want to check that out.

I haven't read the book but I know Chris. He's a pro at the technique.
