My 35mm Pinhole Camera Fail.

So after I made my pinhole camera i had a look at exposure times on the internet and was experimenting with it. I was inside so did it for 10, 20 seconds at first, but then used the flash from my DSLR so I only had the shutter open for a few seconds. I'd done about 10 photos, and the film seemed to be jammed, by the time I'd tried to wind it to get it to unjammed I think I jammed it more. So anyway I locked myself in the darkness of my bathroom and cut open the camera. Luckily I managed to just cut through the tape and not the box. Unluckily I managed to slice some of the film. I then removed the film from the camera and put it in a black bag so I could take it to the darkroom the next day. Then I developed the film.
 Unfortunately there weren't really any photos on the film, I think it must have been jammed up for longer than i thought. there was a small amount of film with part of an image on though, so I printed this..

Part of it is a Tomato Ketchup bottle, I think another part of it is my panda bear, Miles' ear. But I'm not sure about the rest. I'm hoping to try again, and hopefully I'll get something better next time.
