Description
Image on the left is a Polaroid transfer of an image taken on slide film. the polaroid was alowed to transfer ink to the original paper for only 15 seconds and then was placed on watercolor to produce the image to the left. The right image was the original paper that only had ink transfered to it for 15 seconds.Related content

Awesome image, it has a lovely rough feel to it. Plus the white space really works to perfection

Hey guys, nice to see I'm in a feature. haha. I haven't been to this site in 3 years apparently. And things still happen to my stuff! I have no idea what kind of film.
From what I remember:
We made slides using slide film and a SLR and had them developed and made into slides at a photo shop. We then had this little slide transfer machine that was like a little camera and it exposed the slide onto the poloroid. You then peel it apart while its developing and put the poloroid onto wet paper. The ink from the poloroid that would have gone onto the film is now transferring to the wet paper.

theres a special kind of polaroid film we used that you expose using slide film. after the polaroid is exposed, color ink transfers from the ink sheet and onto a glossy paper. so, if you take the ink sheet part off of the glossy paper before the transfer is complete (after 15 seconds) then whatever you put the ink sheet on gets the ink on it. I used a wet piece of watercolor paper, and put the ink sheet part onto it, and then put it in a heat press. after a minute, the image transfers, its a little dark, but I guess thats the style. I matted the glossy paper to the right of the ink transfer since i thought it looked cool too. all of the brown stuff on the paper is the glue, its messy, but messy is kindof cool. You use the same paper to do another type of polaroid transfer where you let the image transfer to the glossy paper like normal, but then you can peal it off and put it on anything like glass, tile, paper, etc.
