+# Label templates
+
+![](../../images/labelimagehere.jpg)*Labeling your samples, Loes Bogers, 2020*
+
+As you start to create your material experiments, you will want to organize the way you archive them. These labels can be used to organize your samples. Only include items that are fully cured and/or dried. 
+
+All these labels can be printed on regular office printers that can print on heavier paper, like A4, 160 or 210 grams/m2. Check what your printer allows. They can be edited InDesign or Acrobat Pro (for now). 
+
+Use strong double-sided tape to attach a strong label with a hole to it if you wish to hang them. Designs for a display system will be added here at a later stage. 
+
+The label designs were originally created by [Maria Viftrup](https://viftrup.com/textilelab) for TextileLab Waag in Amsterdam, modified by Loes Bogers in April 2020 with permission by Waag. The font used is Calibri light. 
+
+### Large labels

+##Growing your local (physical) archive
+
+A nice systematic way of growing your archive is by starting simple variations on existing recipes, e.g. by changing the amounts, adding or substituting one ingredient, etcetera. 
+
+**Title**
+
+Think of a short, descriptive title
+
+**[Core]-based?**
+
+Here you can what is the main constituent material to help describe what kind of material this is. This is not a hard classification, but is supposed to provide a meaningful descriptor to help place the material (which the title alone might not be able to do). 
+
+For example, a bioplastic may be *gelatine-based*, or *agar-based*, or *starch-based* (or a combination). Fish leather is *animal-based*, whereas a mango leather would be *plant-based*, or perhaps even based on fruit waste. Dyes or inks are usually classified accordig to their solvent: e.g. *alcohol-based* or *water-based* because it says something about how they might be used. Whereas pure pigment (powders, or pigments grown on silk like the Serratia Marcescens recipe could be considered *microbial*. 
+
+Some examples: 
+
+- animal-based (fish leather)
+- gelatine-based (bioplastics with gelatine)
+- plant-based (cotton)
+- based on algae (alginate and agar plastics)
+- food waste (clay from banana peels)
+- natural waste (withered flower paper)
+- plastic waste (recycled PLA)
+- microbial (e.g. kombucha, bacterial dye)
+- fungal (e.g. mycelium, is not in the 25 recipes listed here for now)
+- alcohol-based (red cabbage ink with alcohol as the solvent)
+- water-based (dyes made by boiling dye stuff in water)
+
+**Renewable/reusable/compostable?**
+
+All these terms are explained on the [glossary page](../glossary.md).
+
+**Ingredients/making procedure**
+
+Keep it short and sweet, and make sure you refer to the extended recipe that ca be accessed online (see also "variations on a source recipe".)
+
+**Variations on a source recipe**
+
+The labels ask you to state which recipe is the "source" recipe, and how you are making variations on it. Assuming that you will start off by coming up with variations on the recipes listed here. Did you develop or find new recipe? Keep on reading to find out how to contribute to the digital archive as well. 
+
+*URL & QR code*
+
+Put the URL to the online recipe in the box on the top left, and/or generate a QR code for that url and add it on the label for easy access on mobile phones. You can find [free QR code generators](https://www.qr-code-generator.com) online. Use short URLs if possible, you can shorten URLs with for example [bit.ly](https://app.bitly.com).
+
+**Customize with your lab's logo & website**
+
+Use the top right box and text field to customize the label by adding your lab's logo and url if you wish. 
+
+**The small letters!**
+
+Don't forget to fill out your details and the date of fabrication at the bottom of the label. 
+
+##Contributing to the collaborative digital archive\* 
+
+*\* For the time being it is only possible to submit to the archive in this way, but the intention is to automate this fully in the future.*
+
+If your variations have turned into a substantially different material, with different properties, please contribute to the digital archive by filling a form for a [new recipe entry](../new_recipe.md) and sending it to l.bogers [at] hva [dot] nl.
+
+*Adding new ingredients*
+If your recipe requires a new ingredient, please also fill out a form for a [new ingredient entry](../new_ingredient.md) and sending it to l.bogers [at] hva [dot] nl.

+# Tutorial for a tactility video
+

+
+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: 
+
+- strength
+- hardness
+- shape memory
+- weight
+- translucence
+- texture (and also glossiness actually)
+- structure
+- stickiness
+- scratch resistance
+- surface friction
+- and more generally: using sound, light, and distance from the camera to demonstrate all of the above. 
+
+All the tactility videos I made of the material samples in this project (and more), are listed in this [Youtube playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXJnjBsCdBxGIRjgl9SVeoAYn7UzqS8A6).
+
+I'm using my iPhone to shoot these, and a video stand I designed that can be laser cut from a 50x30 cm sheet of 4 mm MDF. You can download these cutfiles ([Illustrator file](../../files/tools/stopmotionstand.ai), and [DXF file](../../files/tools/stopmotionstand.dxf), (they are also under "Tools" in the menubar on the left).

+#ARCHIVE STARTER: RECIPES
+
+
+A selection of 24 biofabricated materials we suggest to build as your "starter archive". It is developed for anyone who would like to build their own physical archive with samples. Building the basic archive will teach you the foundational techniques that most 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.

+#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.
+
+
+<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSOITFNlLhDRTC-h4-3g8u4V4mp2aVy5ONBdhKwN_7VJFTJSQW5lZD5VXOjcPAiExnz6gH1xD5-qoX1/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" frameborder="0" width="600" height="629" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
+
+
+**Meaningful filtering and correlating with additional fields**
+
+The contribution envisioned here is more about the way database entries might allow for other perspective. For example: how might we approach recipes, ingredients, and user locations in more *relational* ways? How can new fields that ask contributors to make more specific and nuanced ethical and ecological considerations, be turned into meaningfully searchable tags and filtering? This mock-up tries to probe such questions by imagining such an archiving system and different roles for different kinds of users. 
+
+
+**Proposed features**
+
+Developing a working database was outside the scope of this project, and connecting to existing initiatives may be a better avenue to explore. The design of the system proposed here: 
+
+- 	**enables peer feedback**, ratings and constructive criticism
+-  incorporate **additional fields** in contribution forms, to promote, include and build more nuanced understanding of the historical, cultural and ecological context of materials and ingredients.
+-  include **audiovisual material** that can convey tactile and sensorial qualities of samples
+-  its logics of organisation and additional required fields can promote and **add a critical angle on the way we consider new naturals** as material alternatives. It allows users to filter on the properties as well as constituent ingredients *and* other tags pulled from the fields of the recipe and ingredient forms that may all become relevant filtering criteria: such as local abundance in your area. Most successful recipes, or most contested ones that could be further researched. 
+-  the way the datastructures are linked **allow for analysis of popular recipes and correlations** with geographical regions, environmental conditions and local abundance of certain ingredients
+
+The suggested features may be included in existing archives (preferred) or be a starting point for a new initiative. Do get in touch if you are are working on material archiving and would like to explore this further! l[dot]bogers[at]hva[dot]nl

+#INGREDIENTS & CONSUMABLES
+
+![](../images/ingredients-2.jpg)*Some ingredients you'll need, Loes Bogers, 2020*
+
+The recipes listed on this website can be used as a starting point for material makers in the Netherlands and around. Consider per ingredient if this is something that is locally abundant in your area. If not, try finding something that could substitute that ingredient to make it your own, and follow the local natural resources around *you*.
+
+With these 40 ingredients you can list all the 25 recipes suggested as a material archive starter, with a suggestion for a local supplier and approximation of the cost per unit. Check out the tools section as well, this list contains disposables only. For under € 500 you can purchase all the ingredients listed below, and most will last many rounds of experiments. The prices listed per material sample in the recipe section are based on the prices below. Of course it is possible to buy smaller packages of most ingredients, this will be *relatively* expensive, but wise if you are planning to just try it out.  
+
+
+##Locally abundant ingredients to collect 
+
+Selecting the 24 recipes to start with in the Netherlands were mostly motivated by what is abundant here locally. So the ingredients listed here involve food waste and byproducts that ideally should not be purchased, but sourced by accessing waste streams or collecting leftovers. If you start out doing this from home, it really helps to collect nice glass jars, pots and bowls for collecting and drying food waste. Remove the labels and give them a nice place e.g. in a window where you are reminded and where you can keep an eye on them as they dry.

+| 4 | Egg shells |n/a  | identify waste streams in your home, neighbourhood and/or local supermarkets/restaurants |
+| 5 | PLA scraps | n/a | identify waste streams locally, in fablabs, printshops etcetera. Ask for scraps and failed prints that are easier to handle manually |

+##List of ingredients to buy
+
+The ingredients below are things you will likely have to buy. It's good exercise to localize options that are produced fairly and sustainably, and ideally locally. Research the manufacturers, contact them, find out where things are produced and what your best option might be. These may be subject to change and more research can be done to find even better options. Consider this an open invitation to improve what is here!

+#TOOLS
+
+![](../images/toolpics-8.jpg)*For drying: a drying rack, a wooden board, hammer and nails, metal wire, a large tray that fits in your oven, a wooden frame and a piece of sturdy fine mesh.  Loes Bogers, 2020*
+
+This is a list of the materials and tools needed (apart from the ingredients) to recreate all 25 recipes listed here. In an effort to keep it most accessible, note that most of these will already be lying around your house (or studio, or workshop).
+
+**Gathering your supplies: Do-It-Together!**
+
+Best is to form a small group of people and do the experiments together! Between you, you can probably get most of the materials listed here. If not, a trip to a thrift store won't break the bank. 
+
+**Dedicate your utensils to non-food only**
+
+Used kitchen utensils are great option anyway because you will need to dedicate them to non-food only. Although a lot of these recipes work with mostly natural materials, *none of these recipes are considered to be fit for consumption*. Any utensils used here are best kept apart from utensils used for food preparation. 
+
+**Biolab supplies**
+
+Only the lab materials needed for the bacterial dye are missing from the images below as I did't have access to them during the outbreak of the corona pandemic. Perhaps it's worth getting access to a biolab or chemistry lab at a high school to do the bacterial dye, before setting up a small biolab (which requires some special tools like an incubator and a pressure cooker). 
+
+**Space needs and smells**
+
+Choose a space where you can make a bit of a mess, where there's ample space to let things dry (flat surfaces and hanging), preferable near an open window or other place with air flow. Humid environments will affect the materials' behaviors during drying, curing and growing.
+
+Ideally you have access to do washing up easily (a sink, or maybe even a dishwasher), and access to a fridge or freezer to store inks and dyes (make sure to label them very clearly indicating it is not for consumption or dedicate a shelf to non-food only). 
+
+Some of the recipes can get smelly, so consider the people you share a space with and let them know when you plan to be cooking materials (dyes/inks, and gelatine-based bioplastics can get very smelly).
+
+**Protection**
+
+When working with inks and dyes, consider to protect your surfaces by coverig it with a piece of plastic. Wear some clothes you don't mind staining.
