| Oscar | I like the idea of a "quilt" as a way to collect similar samples (material explorations) in one object. |
| Anastasia | very nice proposal, i love the idea of builidng up a catalogue , but i would like to further discuss this with you. because i believe that this catalogue should be also open for other contributors, so that you can also search and feature designers on this platform. |
| Cecilia | To make a choice you may want to think of what truly makes you happy > Loes iterated on our material archive at textilelab amsterdam, what she focused on is the detail on replication and precise settings / parameters. You need to be very precise and methodical for this approach, her focus was less on how to present the materials, because we had already a system, but very much on the method and continuity, each material is a "basic material". This emans that experimenttaion is less in the focus. If you like to experiment more than work methodically in reprodcuing, then create a process/ideology that guide your experiments - what is in and what is out? how do you determine that? are they a 100 ways to dave testile waste? is it only local materials? are they raw? where do they come from? |
| Claudia | Love both the idea of the library and the potential outcome through quilting / biohacking. it can also be a workshop with people donating clothes or at the end an installation piece made it collaboratevely |

| Rico | Sophia...super strong concept. I am trying to remember a Japanese embroidery artist that you will enjoy. When I find it...i will send you a DM in Mattermost. |

My thoughts¶
This feedback was incredibly helpful.
My new plan is to focus on 2 aspects:
- Crowdsource website: I will not be testing and perfecting existing methods, but rather creating a platform to collect and show work / methods from designers creating from textile waste. To Anastasia's point it would be great to have something open to contributors that can continue to grow with the work other people do, without me having to test and finalize recipes. And do Cecilia's point its important to do what I'm interested, and I'm more interested in experimented and finding my own methods rather than testing and replicating. Though I'm also interested in creating something accessible and connecting with other people who have worked with textile waste
- Develop my own process of working with textile waste. I would like to focus on this idea of bio-quilting and focus on creating the method and hopefully creating some final products with this method.
