Polaroid SX70 manipulations

[VictoriaS]

Does anyone here do them? If so, can I see them? (I'll show you mine, if you show me yours.)

Go to Polaroid.com to see some and also get technical info.

What are you using to manipulate them? I use a metal thingy, but polaroid says you get the best results with a wood thingy. Also, do you heat yours and add color?

Hi, Icefan:

Just saw your response. I use various thingies. Toothpicks, nails, a little spoon, a corkscrew, etc. I tend to prefer metal things, because the ends of toothpicks quickly break. I have not heated them (what does that do??). I do sometimes color the print -- not so much in an artistic way, but just to intensify or help out the photo's natural color. Have you been doing this long?
