The first reframing session with Laura was really nice. She took time to understand the project you want to make and she helps you finding new insights for your project.
We really came to the facts that it's important for me that the materials are not necessarily water and heat proof, but that they won't affect the clothing that will be packed in it. So when I have my first usable recipes I'll have to test them.
Also I'll have to find some proof that the problem is really there and I have to document it. I know that the problem is there form personal experiences, but I'll have to make sure it's clear and real for everyone.
So I'll have to do some research on the problem and allready made solutions.
This week I tested some new AGAR AGAR recipes:
As you can see the molds were I put the bioplastics in are not the best ever, but I had to work with the kitchen gear I have.
This Bio foil dissapeared after one week, like seriuous it just schrank so much that there was almost nothing left on the plate. It was definitly a bummer. I had high hopes for this foil.
The results were suprising and I never got to know why the material came out like this:
The material feels soft and rough at the same time. It's really flexible and not fragile.
It's a it heavy and maybe a bit too thick, but it's still flexible.
Beceause the foil didn't worked the first times, I had changed some things. I didn't used vaseline for the underground of the mold and I also picked it up too early and layed it down real weird so now its shape is a bit odd.
Because I didn't use vaseline this time the material is not sticky at all. In the matter of facts the material feel really dry and just as real plastic. It's a bit too fragile for plastic clothing bags, yet it is a worthy material, which if I have the time I can adjust it and maybe make it suitable for my project.
Until now I am really happy with the outcomes of the Agar recipes, but there is more.
