One Love Polaroid Cork Turntable Platter Mat - Karen Payton Art

Some things are worth keeping in physical form. This cork turntable mat features One Love Polaroid by Karen Payton, celebrating the charm of instant photography with a vintage camera recreated in soft blues, rich purples, and a bright rainbow stripe. A colorful lightning bolt appears on the emerging photograph, adding a playful surprise to a familiar classic.

Karen constructs her original artwork from clothing, fabric, and other textile materials. Layered circles form the camera lens, patterned fabrics give its body character, and visible stitching traces the details, bringing warmth and imagination to an object already full of nostalgia.

Reproduced on our cork platter mat, One Love Polaroid captures those textile textures and stitched details in print. A fitting companion for your favorite records, celebrating the photographs we hold onto and the music that takes us back. A great gift for photographers, instant film fans, and anyone who loves the analog things in life.

Original artwork by Karen Payton. Cork platter mat produced by Analog Restorations.

Part of our Studio Series, this platter mat has the artwork integrated directly into the surface while allowing the natural color and texture of the cork to show through. The result is a functional, personal piece that brings a meaningful sense of place to your turntable.
