I’ve finally put the finishing touches on my portfolio. The custom sleeve and business cards are the latest addition. After taking a couple of sewing classes I was able to put together this nice little denim sleeve with patterned lining and heavy duty metal zipper. I decided that it would be interesting if I used the same patterned fabric on the back of my business cards, they look and feel great. The book itself is an off-the-shelf aluminum screwpost portfolio. I added cherry veneer to the outside and inside and stained it with a teak coloured finish. After many layers of matte varnish, it was done.

This was my first Polaroid transfer using Fujiflm FP-100C and a Vivitar Instant Slide Printer. The paper used was Arches 88, it works well because it has no sizing to interfere with the transfer from adhering to the surface.
I’ve recently purchased a Polaroid back for my Holga medium format camera. I will be posting some images shortly. I’ve also just scored a Vivitar Instant Slide Printer from eBay, it allows me to print slides directly to Polaroid film or more importantly, Polaroid transfers. Again, I’ll be posting some of the transfers that I’ve done.
Some new work will be coming early next week. In the meantime check out The Real Frequency for some musical inspiration.
