Reminds me of Réseau crosses, which I absolutely adore.
I had to look that one up!
I was inspired to try this based on images I saw from the Haruhisa camera, which projects through a custom-made plate, and wanted to see whether I could produce similarly textured images using double exposures on film. So far I've tried it with my pinhole camera, as well as the pinhole camera with the Holga, and want to try it with the pinhole camera and my Mamiya C330 although I'm less confident the frames will line up the same if I do that (no red window on the Mamiya to verify alignment).
I use the pinhole camera to take the images of washi paper because it has near-infinite depth of field, so I can place it a centimeter or two from the paper and have it be in focus and fill the frame, and also because my pinhole camera has knobs that allow me to move the film in both directions -- so I can easily rewind it once I'm done shooting my 12 "texture" exposures. Once rewound I can use it any camera that shoots 120 film -- the same pinhole camera, my Holga, my Mamiya, whatever.
I'm going to get some more finely textured washi paper and maybe experiment with glass plates as well. I've always liked photos that have some texture, especially random as opposed to regular, repetitive patterns.
