A new kind of Block

If you are a Flickr contact, you know about my blocks. What you may not have known is that they are for sale and pretty darn cheap. $15 for the 6x6's (most of them). The larger ones aren't that much more. Well, I've made a new kind of block. It's a Polaroid on top of a Polaroid. A Polaroid emulsion lift on top of a blank Type 600. Now these will be a bit more, since they are a bit more work and doubling up on the magic that is Polaroid. These are $30 and also 6x6. Shipping is super cheap and if you buy more than one, it gets even cheaper. 

Here is the first of the new kind of Block: 
Here is a link to the other blocks that are available. You can leave a comment here if you are interested, leaving a way to contact you.

  2. Colie: hmm, well she will have to be the one to tell you exactly. If you peel apart the 600 right after it's taken, the emulsion is still wet, you might be able to put it down on something like wet watercolor paper. Just like you would a regular transfer. I'm not sure.

    As for a blank 600, they are just accidents. I had a few lying around and this is what I am going to use them for now.
