Scoby
A Scoby is a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast which grows as a skin on top of a fermenting drink, often kombucha. This video explains how I created a textile from this as its potential uses.
Mycelium Millinery
Mycelium is the root network of a mushroom. It's currently being developed into textiles, are inspiring textures, patterns and is being used in architecture. Here I explore the myco-composite in millinery, developing first a top hat and then a structural fascinator.
The top hat is made from 100% mycelium, while the other was grown in two pieces, glued together and painted. The second isn't perfect, it's a start towards biomaterial product development and is a step towards the material revolution.
