Maybe you are wondering how the technique is done. With a few simple steps, you can reach quite interesting results. Let's have a look.
Everything starts with a normal Polaroid image (here, done with a 669 film and using a Vivitar instant slide copier)
The image is put in hot water slightly boiling and kept there for a few minutes...
Then, taken and put in a another bath of cold water...
This makes it possible to gently (VERY....gently) take off the emulsion by the thumbs...
Throw away the paper, just keep the emulsion. It looks and feels like a jelly-fish. Very thin, very delicate, but now worries, as long as it's in the water, it should not break !
Take your time, to take off the rest of gelatine on it...
Slowly (the whole exercise has to be done slowly anyway !!!), put in the water an acquarelle paper, underneeth the floating emulsion...
Place the emulsion where you want to have it.
As long as it's wet, you can reposition it...
When in the right place, put the whole thing on a flat surface and keep it for drying.
After 12 hours it should be kind of dry !
