@jeremyosborn I don't know what any of that means, but it looks cool.

@bit101 Thx, I'll take it!

It's made by a delicate process of lifting the emulsion off of a Polaroid photo and transferring to paper (or whatever). If you're curious @moragperkins recently did a short video on it. https://mastodon.art/@moragperkins/110599557787132087

The two questions I get asked most often are "what is a Polaroid emulsion lift?" and "how do you do them?" so I've made a short video of the process that will hopefully shed some light! Enjoy 😊 #Polaroid #EmulsionLift #Photography #Art #Process #WorkInProgress https://vimeo.com/838846552

@jeremyosborn @moragperkins that was the most amazing thing I watched this week.
@jeremyosborn ❤️ Is it wrong that I want to try to recreate this image in watercolor?? (don't worry, I won't -- my skill level is nowhere near up to it!)
@6x6pix nothing wrong at all! There’s an intriguing similarity between lifts and watercolors, probably why in drawn to both.
