Hi, all!

I am re-discovering my Polaroid I-zone camera. I'm looking for ideas and projects and creative or useful ways to use these little pictures.

One thing that I've always done is to take pictures of friends and family and stick those next to their entries in my phone book. I also did a tiny little photo album for my dog. I took his picture each month and wrote a little something about him in it.

I'm craving other uses and ideas, though. Have any of you done anything cool with your pics? Used them in any craft projects?

Tell me about your adventures with your I-zone. Got on online I-zone gallery? Post the url here!

Dawn :o)

Picture Ornaments-perfect size.

This might be one of those marble magnet oportinites,can you glue actual phots?

Picture of nephews tummy,nieces legs,bro-in law chest/arms,sister-in law head,made a scrap book page about why they were all part of the personality their family and made the funniest looking person picture there is..quite possibly.

i had a friend in school who did a whole project with an izone in which she took pictures of she and her boyfriend gettin it on and the put the izone photo against another backdrop and retook the pic with a 35 mm camera....they were interesting.

does anyone know anything about polaroid transfers? i'd like to use my i-zone for this sort of thing...

In school we got to use JoyCams (larger pics than i-zone) to make 'shapes' - we were supposed to take at least two pictures and put them together so that the motives of the pics looked like a shape - the simplest thing to do would be a circle or a square, but it could be as complicated as you want it. I made an exclamation mark and as the 'circle' I used a photo of half a round traffic mirror and a photo of half a lid to a well - I really liked the way it turned out. Anyway, it doesn't really sound like fun (but it was!) and maybe you aren't looking for that kind of project, but you could use it for making signs or whatever - a friend of mine took photos of shadows that looked like letters (once you start looking, you can see letters everywhere!) to make a word.

I'd also like to know about izone polaroid transfers!

I just use my izone at parties at our place, and then we have all of these hundreds of wee pictures lying around the next day. it's a great party fun time thing, but hell if I know what to do with them.

actually, maybe I'll make a little "our apartment" album with them.

I bought one of these for my mum's 50th party. We had people take snaps of each other, we'd put them in a nice black page scrapbook and then they could write a message to my mum beside the photo. It worked out really great and my mum has a wonderful and unique photo album from all of her friends commemorating the big event!

I still have another roll of film in the camera and in a box. I have plans to get my boy to take a segmented portrait of my body with it and I'm going to use it to create a pregnancy shrine (I'm with child - 14 weeks). I'm going to cover my growing boobs with my hands and cover my bush with my boy's head (ham-fisted symbolism!).

I haven't got any better ideas for you. Sorry!

Congradulations!And I think it is wonderful that pregnant women want to display their...well it's beautiful,and a perfect use of a I-Zone!

Ok, I got intrigued by the idea of making image transfers, even though I've never done it before. I found instructions for doing "emulsion lifts", which I assume are the same thing, and I tried it. Didn't work. I think the labels on the sides of the pics keep the emulsion in place so that it won't separate in water. Or maybe I just did it wrong. Whatever the case, it didn't work. Anybody else had any luck with this?

I'm still looking for crafty ideas. I've done countless searches on the web, but I can't find anything other than mini scrapbooks. I've done that. Also, I've done magnets before. Not marble ones. I made little paper frames and put a strip of magnetic tape on the back.

Surely there's some creative purpose I can use this camera for.

oooh - i'm so there. lisalisa made me a really cool i-zone project. she decoupaged a small box with muni transfers and then included three photos of the F market car. underneath them all is a little typed note reading "surprise."

taking pictures of big things with a little camera is funny. i made a shrine to the 2002 oakland athletics by taking a ton of photos at the ballpark. take photos of things and stick them to envelopes you send out. be post-modern about it. take a photo of the view from your window and stick it to the window. send your parents postcards with photos of your toes. start a tuesday journal and take a picture every tuesday of something. stick it down and write a paragraph about it. the possibilities are endless!

Aaaaah! That's so cute, Athos! Next time I go to SF, I'm taking my iZone so I can get a shot of the 22 Fillmore, aka bus of doom, and make a tape case for the tape with the silly old "riot grrl" song I wrote about it!

I am now thoroughly inspired. And a little depressed, because I just realized that I gave our jointly-owned iZone to my roommate when she moved away. Noooo!!
