Maybe you're asking, "What am I looking at?"- well... these image are reproductions of a process called Polaroid emulsion lifts. See below for more on this!
This listing is for one of these cards- please choose from the pull down menu.
Each card is 5x5 inches, opens to a blank inside, and on the back is a printed title and my photo website info. I package cards with coordinating square envelopes so you can give them or mail them to someone, but you can always just frame the little card as a really inexpensive way to have art on the wall!
I sign each card front in pencil.
Polaroid emulsion lift:
The process starts with Polaroid film (specifically iType, 600, or sx70- and yes, the film is still made). I shoot a photo, wait till it develops, cut off the white part around the image, peel off the clear front part, then submerge that into a tray of hot water to release the tissue thin emulsion (which is the image) from the backing. This floating emulsion is very fragile and looks kind of like a jelly fish or seaweed floating around in the water. It can then be transferred to a surface (I use watercolor paper)- and manipulated to create the folds and wrinkles seen in the final image.
