homerun

2 bottles of glycerin =8€, 4 boxes of 2 packets  of gelatin =6€ and i made myself 2 7x7 small plates and a 14x14 one. all nice 3cms thick. saved about 40€, more if it were the genuine gelliplate.

one of the small ones is going to a friend  to get her introduced to the craze.

 

being fair what doesn't come out in the photo is the total wreck of a plastic square mold that i used for the first plate i made.perished in the microwave as it couldn't take 20 secs at high .

this batch was better than my fist plate because it came out firmer, splurged on the gelatin and was a miser with the boiling water.

fun times ahead mesdames.＼（*▽*）／

need to start practicing on cloth.

the dreaded last 20 cms

the hardest part of weaving IMO.i always get stalled there, with the next project always on the backburner and it takes me ages to complete.   ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯
