1. **Use your SCOBY**
- Use your SCOBY to make paper or leather (or kombucha tea) see [this recipe for Kombucha paper](https://class.textile-academy.org/2020/loes.bogers/files/recipes/kombuchapaper/)
- Use your SCOBY to grow more SCOBY:
- If it has grown to a thickness of minimum 5 mm you can use your SCOBY to make paper or leather (or kombucha tea) see [this recipe for Kombucha paper](https://class.textile-academy.org/2020/loes.bogers/files/recipes/kombuchapaper/)
- You can also use your SCOBY to grow more SCOBYs: - wash your hands and sterilyze your tools again?
- cut a 5x5 cm square (approx.) off your SCOBY
- prepare another jar of sugary tea and seal as described above
- If not, give it some more time. Or feed your SCOBY to let it grow bigger:
- sterilize everything and wash your hands again thoroughly
- prepare another jar of sugary tea as described above
- consider: should you wash your hands and sterilyze your tools again?
- cut a 5x5 cm square (approx.) off your fully grown SCOBY
- seal the jar(s) with a coffee filter and rubber band and let them grow undisturbed like you did before.
- prepare another jar of sugary tea as described above, let it cool to 30 degrees.
- then add the SCOBY and half of the growing water and let it rest for three more weeks. Your SCOBY will grow bigger the more often you use it to make kombucha.

#24 recipes to start a local sample archive
![](../../images/pics-insta1.jpg)*Biofabricating alginate string, Loes Bogers, 2020*
These are the material samples I crafted over the course of this project. There were many more, but they did not make the cut when I'd set my criteria in stone. These recipes can also be used by anyone who wants to start of a local physical archive (maybe in your school, community center, research group or library). Crafting this basic collection will teach you the foundational techniques that many other recipes will build upon, and require you to collect the basic tools and ingredients you will need. By making this archive starter of material samples, you will learn some of the most important techniques to start your own R&D lab for design materials and you will have a variety of physical forms (solids, sheets, composites) to build upon. Further research is advised in case you wish to use any of these for commercial purposes (copyright info is listed in the recipes too, where known).

All the materials listed here are easily and harmlessly absorbed by nature within 90 days and/or can be turned into compost, *without* controlled conditions assuming industrial facilities, and/or the material can be re-used with no or little additional resources. Many - but not all - are vegan. This rather specific point of departure is important because biodregadability - especially in the realm of bioplastics - has become a very loosely used term that connotates "better" plastics, even though some bioplastics are chemically identical to petroleumbased options, even when they are crafted from "natural" ingredients like corn starch.

#Proposal for open online archiving
Below's slideshow is a mock-up of an imagined online archive to rethink the way we might archive new naturals in a context-aware, collaborative way. In many ways, the proposal follows the form and functions the same way other content management systems allow users to contribute. So there is nothing new there, it is the point that it looks familiar and recognizable as such.

A really useful way of documenting the sensory qualities of a material, or the "feel" and sound of it is to shoot a video. With some small tricks you can show a lot of properties that a material has, using sound and reflection of light while you are playing with a sample. In the tutorial below I explain some ways to give a more tactile demonstration of these material qualities:
