GROW your own fabric

Suzanne Lee, a fashion designer, has learned to grow her own fabric using tea, sugar, and microbes. Over the course of a few days in a grow bath, a pale, skin-like fabric is grown on the surface of the mixture. The fabric is dried flat or molded in a three dimensional form.

Carnovsky's RGB Wallpaper

From Creative Review

For the Milan Design Week, Italian studio Carnovsky
created a series of wallpapers that react to different coloured lights

UPDATE: new versions of the wallpapers are 
on display in a new exhibition in Berlin alongside 
prints and playing cards using the same technique. 
See our story here

The designs were created for the Milan shop of
Janelli & Volpi, a noted Italian wallpaper brand.
Each features overlapping illustrations, different
elements of which are revealed depending on
whether a blue, green or red light is shone upon them. 

Knit 9/11

Claire Renaut - graduate of our M.S. Textile Design program wrote -

"I wanted to share with you a project of mine that is very important to me and will bring some form of "happiness" to all. It is called "9/11 Knit", and it is a textile project of transformation of newspaper into a textile but also the transformation of sorrow into beauty and remembrance.

Please, take the time to see the entire explanation on http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clairerenaut/9-11-knit?ref=email and see how you can participate and share.

Please take a look at Claire's work which I found extremely powerful, emotional, inspirational.

Thank you Claire.
