The creation of Polaroid Image Transfers combines alternative process photography with studio art techniques. Traditionally (and at its most basic), you transfer an image to a piece of polaroid film (either by shooting it directly, or transferring a slide image to a polaroid), and you peel apart the film, applying the negative image to a receptor surface.

Often, the surface of choice is watercolor paper, but I've successfully used handmade paper, bisque tile (a wonderful surface on which to work - the three pears and the pomagranates are on bisque) and wood. The first image in the top left corner was made on a gold-flecked specialty paper.
