5.2.2. Exp.02: Pampas Grass Feather

For this experiment, I used “not bio” materials, for the next one I would love to do it with biochromes

. 1 piece of Pampas Grass . Chinese Ink, i use Pink, Red and Violet tone . Containers, i use Cupcake Molds jaja . Water

First of all, we have to cut and separate the grass leaves. Next step was to put cold water into a big pot with the chinese ink, this time I use the Pink ink for testing. Once I put the ink into the warm water, I dipped the grass into the pot and let them soak for an hour on medium heat.

After 1 hour of soaking, I let the pot cool down for 30 min with the grass inside. Once it’s cold, I separate the grass one by one and I removed the excess of water with paper towel. Once i have all of the grass “wet” I started to dry it one by one with a hair dryer.

When I have it all dry, I tried how they would look in a Tote Bag to be able to sew them. Then I let it sit overnight, just to be sure that they’re 100% dry.

At the next day, i started my Frankenstain, which is my Tote Bag with my Grass Feathers.
