Any chance of seeing some of this? Sounds interesting.

All I ever did was mutilate Polaroids while they were developing - exposing them to heat in a toaster, rubbing parts of the surface with various tools and so on. Didn’t make that much of them because they were quite costly and lost them anyway.
Oh, and I found out that the Ilford HP5 was very sensitive to temperature change in the development process, especially when pushed to 1600 speed. If you’d rinse the film in cold water between developer and fixer it would shock off part of the emulsion from the film. Combined with the grain you’d get from pushing the HP5 it would make for interesting effects - but ultimately that was way too random to please a control freak…
