Steve's Old School Shot Of The Moment #4

Since a 22 picture post isn't enough to hold some of our readers for more than 10 days, I figured we had better post again. However, due to a week dealing with a flooded apartment (even with 100+ days of no rain), and knitting super-secret gifts and other items we can't blog about, this is going to be a photo post.

Lately, we have been decorating our new place with some of our favorite old shots. This group of Polaroid Image Transfers are going under mirrors.
To learn more about Polaroid Image Tranfers, go here. I found the mirror technique in a book Lucy had from the school library. I'll try to track down more info on it. - Update - The book is called Photocraft and has lots of cool ideas.

The tips I have for Polaroid Image Transfers are the following: Use Cold Pressed watercolor paper. Wet the paper before using. Use warm water to place the image in while transferring. Peel apart under the water. The rest is pretty much the same as Polaroid's instructions.

If you'd like to see more of my Polaroid Image Transfers, browse the Images section or check out my portfolio on Polaroid's site.

Here is the first picture without the mirror.

Here is one more old school - redux. I combined 2 old photos to create this new nude.

By the way, the gorgeous model in all of these photos is my beautiful wife, Kiki.

Now - a reward for those knitters who read this far. A sneak peak of some of my super-secret knitting.

Once I send the packages to the lucky recipients, I will show more. Here is another one.


Oh, Lucy had another project that we can show. She made this needle case from Brown Sheep Bulky.
Love that felted fringe!


The one below is the best picture - truest color.

And now some more cards.
