Stapelia Gigantea Polaroid Week: Day 1 - 2

            I had the luck to find this strange beauty at the market months ago. I started collecting stapelias before because their interesting look... a kind of creepy lovecraftian look. Some people call it  "Demogorgon flower" due to its resemblance to the monster from the Stranger Things TV show. These flowers have a soft rotten smell so it can attract flies for the pollination, you can only smell it when you're too close to the flower, so it's not a problem at all!
After I tore it when I was making a dry lift/ transparency I had the idea to make a emulsion lift with the part that stayed on top of the white stuff, so it ended up being an hybrid lift (wet emulsion/ dry lift).
