image transfers

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

I checked the FAQ but can't quite see what I'm looking for. Polaroid transfers are great -- I've been meaning to do them, but don't have the money right now to buy the film and land camera needed. Anyway though, I was wondering though if there was another way to do a more direct transfer -- either with the polaroids I have now, or with photos I already have, magazines, etc? Isn't there a way I could, I don't know, rub the ink from one paper to another paper elsewhere to have a reversed image? I thought I read something about it here a long time ago.. nail polish remover perhaps? I can't remember. My thinking's so fuzzy right now.
