• FYI crystals will bind overlapping threads
• CRYSTALVERSE for tutorials/inspo
• alum crystals 24 hr
• salt/sugar like 7 days

Overview material research outcomes¶

example from the documentation of Loes Bogers TextileLab Amsterdam 2019-20

Biofoam	Gelatin foil	Bioresin	Biosilicone
Starch Rubber	Biolinoleum	Alginate net	Alginate foil
Alginate string	Agar foil	Bio composite	Reused PLA

Tools¶

Process and workflow¶

Crystalization¶

My first step was too draft paper patterns of the design.

make full size mock up pattern.

test crystal knit strips

hand sew crystal bags because no sewing machine

go home for xmas and have access to ssewing machine and studio. sew garments to be crystalized

finish seams

Leather Molding¶

fucc around w cnc miller

draft human made tits

unsuccesful rhino attempts

wwent to physical molding heated leather with baking soda and wrapped around judy with clamps and left dry over the weekend. held shape but not well enough to get fully vissioin and not stuurdy ennough to hold bag shape.

made air dry clay mold. broke.

next wwll try molding gelatin bio gel onto judy.
