It’s Polaroid week once again so here’s my offering for day 1. Emulsion lift with embroidery added.
I’m not on social media very much at the moment as life is lifing so apologies for lack of interaction x

Worldwide pinhole photography
Unbelievably, I now live 5 minutes drive from what is described as the world’s largest pinhole camera (probably 😂)

Had to take my #Pinsta with me so it was the first time I’d used it away from the safety of my garden!
