This was an assignment for the Fabricademy course, Biofabricating Dyes and Materials, experimenting with bioplastics that could be integrated with textiles using an over-molding process. Documentation for my experimentation process where I tested a variety of bioplastic formulations and processing paramters can be found here. Integrating the bioplastics with textiles using the over-mold approach proved difficult due to the incompatibility between the agar bioplastic and the textiles explored in this assignment (left in the image below). The agar-based textiles were found suitable as beads for a necklace, as shown in the image below on the right below.
