Re: Ilfochrome classic....... Very sad experience...

I thought I saw something a while ago about using it for a self-made
origami pinhole box camera type dealey. (In English: the paper is the
pinhole box itself, folded in such a way that many of the walls receive
light through the pinhole, not simply the back wall. The result is
geometric, tactile, and quite striking.)
Try this link for a taste:
