 +=====recipe for the double fabric with psyllium and hemp (2022)=====
 +this is for a bigger skin, bigger quantities
 +- water: 1800ml
 +- psyllium: 100 gr
 +- glycerine: 130gr or 100ml
 +- colours: acryl mixed in the mass (first soluted in water)
 +=> attention: normally these measures are by volume, so the amounts indicated here are only to use together!

 I think I finally found the right combination of quantities/recipients/drying time. The pieces look really fine when I stick them with their jelly/rubberish side on a window, backlit by sunlight. I will try out some patch works with more pieces in different thickness of the material, and maybe some differently coloured with natural plant dyes. I think I finally found the right combination of quantities/recipients/drying time.

 Another small experiment is to work with half spheres. I made a sphere out of plaster and I put strips of cellulose (1 day old) in a woven pattern on top. The purpose is to check if the cellulose after drying takes on the spherical form, without the support of the plaster cast. Another small experiment is to work with half spheres.

 +=====GMO-free football=====
 +10 march 2016: 
 +20 hexagons and 12 pentagons grown from Psyllium, water, glycerine and pollen.
 +Here they are presented  in 3 layers photographed on top of each other.
 +Next step is sew them together into the form of a GMO-free football!
