Found Memories Art: RIP Polaroid, I hardly knew Ye

Found Memories Art

Being the further misadventures of an artist, her camera, some rotating art supplies, and a mind that wanders and roams while her feet stay pretty much in the same place (unfortunately)!
Found Memories Art is where you'll find a little something about collage, photos, and mixed media. Maybe a bit of life here in an old log cabin in the woods thrown in for fun.
Just a hint: click on the pics to see them better! Have fun with me as you too, ride the innertube that I call the internet and see how my muse has steered me.

RIP Polaroid, I hardly knew Ye

Well, it's official. Polaroid is going to stop making its instant film as of the end of this year. That as they say, sucks, it's horrible, and makes me both sad & mad. Sad because it is the end of a long choppy relationship with a wonderful product. Mad because I had just gotten a "new" old Polaroid, some film, & just yesterday the grand book, "Polaroid Transfers" by Kathleen Thormod Carr. This was in preparation to beginning what I hoped would be a long series of Polaroid transfers in connection with my collages & mixed media work. HA! So I, along with everyone else am going to be grabbing up film & the prices are going to rise. And you can't keep this stuff forever in the refrigerator like regular film. So it's like, quick take lots of pictures, do lots of transfers in the next year! Brother. Okay. That is my little venting session for the day, you may go on with your happiness elsewhere! I will be okay in a while. No really, I will.
