Bioplastic Experiment

Layering bioplastic casts is a great way to achieve a thicker result. Here is a step-by-step of how we created a two-layer flower-embedded bioplastic:

 

Two Guar Gum bioplastics were mixed together to form the base layer of the material (golden beet dye, local flower petal dye), then we sprinkled dried butterfly pea flowers onto the wet bioplastic.
The Guar Gum bioplastic was dehydrated at 40°C for about two days.
