October CountryHaving fun with another Polaroid Transfer on marble tile. The photo was originally taken on a rainy day walk in Ormelle, Italy. (same town where the bicycle tile photo was taken)
I love playing with Polaroid transfers. To create this piece, the polaroid is heated in a hot water bath until the emulsion comes loose from the paper backing. The transparent image floats in the water & you can then place it on your choice of surface. In this case, I laid it upon a 4" piece of marble.
This was one of my older pieces that needed some reworking. So I went over the image with markers, paints, colored pencils & ink. It still needed something until I pulled the Italian Script stamp from Judikins. (Definitely my favorite stamp lately).

October Country measures 4" sq and has hanging hardware attached to the back. It is available at ArtSnark.etsy.com - just click either photo for details. All of these reworked tiles are priced to sell at $10 each. (I'm trying to make some elbow room around here)

I've been eyeballing the Polaroid transfers you've been posting. They look awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy question is where on earth do you find them? I haven't seen a Polaroid in ages. I was thinking the same thing when they published something about them in a magazine.
This is amazing, so gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteJennifer, I thought same thing, I have a past client that likes to buy up Polaroids, and I'm thinking "good luck", flea markets I guess. Stacey, I love the way you are reworking these pieces!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, Stacey! I can imagine a grouping of these on a wall.
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is absolutely amazing!
