[OT] Clothes made probably with scoby and/or MOVs

[Guest guest]

On one of the Kombucha forums one of the participants had a link to a

site about " ecouterre " .. a U.K. Designer who is a sentior reserch

fellow .. makes her designed clothes from " bathtubs, yeast, pinch of

bacteria & sweetened tea " . For any of us who've worked around the

scobies and MOV's, the pictures look just like they would dried/pushed

together, .. kind of thin leathery .. the look also reminds me of native

" brain-tanned " deer skin. Although I don't have time to experiment ...

wouldn't it be cute for Barbie Dolls? Come to think of it perhaps I'll

do one for my 2 youngest granddaughters! It can also be dyed with

several natural dyes.

IF anyone does anything " creative " with them, I'd sure like to see pics,

etc.
