9. Textile as scaffold
I'm very excited about this assignment. First of all I have to confess this one is one of the most complex for me, because here I see some of the techniques that are not very usual in the life of the fabrication, or at least, speaking from the perspective of a Fab Lab's manager. The most complex process we have done is more about developing machines, but of course I like it.
I chose this project that I found on pinterest, I have this idea of creating a different mask for every technique that we learn in Fabricademy so, for this one I would like to make a mask with the scooby of the kombucha from a wood mold. I like the concept of extending some of the parts from our bodies with the color of our skin so I think using kombucha for this is perfect.
