<p>Thanks Heleen. I've looked at Instax, and the 'new' 'not-a-real-Polaroid-but-we-will-pretend-it-is-for-marketing-reasons-and-hope-that-you-will-be-fooled-and-buy-one'...but have never bought one.</p>
<p>I stick to the original Polaroids. The major problem with these is to get hold of some original film that still works. Sometimes it does, but most times it doesn't. I buy Polaroids when I find them in flea markets, but rarely come aqcross cameras that I haven't already gotten -- and can…</p>

<p>Here are some of my current Punnekins/Tricotaines hanging on an old metal candlestick.</p>
<p>I now add a Punnekin to every canvas I exhibit, and the Punnekins have become a bit of a 'Val Trade Mark'.</p>
<p>Behind the Punnekins and candlestick are some of my old Polaroid cameras -- of which i now have about 45 different ones.</p>
<p>With thanks to Suus and Heleen for inspiring and helping me to make Punnekins.…</p>

<p>It's a fantastic foot, Heleen. Much gracias!</p>
<p>I'm going into Hospital next week to have (yet another, this is the fifth) operation on my left foot.</p>
<p>I'm going to take Heleen's Punnekin Foot into the Hospital with me, and hang it over my bed so that it brings me Good luck and Good Health.</p>
<p>The power of Yarn! Yeah</p>
