I have hundreds of polroids stored away in boxes and photo albums that haven’t seen the light of day since they were first developed.

Within those boxes and photo albums are a few shots that I wasn’t paticulary happy with, so that got me thinking, what can I do with them? It’d be a shame to throw them away but they weren’t good enough to display.

And then, it hit me… why don’t I paint on them? Not only will they look more colourful, but if they look rubbish at least I have plenty to practice on, right?

So when I put my sweet little baby down for a nap I got out my old watercolour paints and had a go.

I'm not the best painter in the world but it's such a great way to experiment and get creative.
