It's very impressive to see all the samples you've made from crisp packaging which requires great diligence. The melting ones could be especially interesting to discover more, as you can work in wider panels and maybe even melt things inside it. Looking forward to see more of this!!
Hi Liene. I like your ideas. I think they have a lot of potential. If you try to cut the packets into even thinner strips and also heating them up with hot air while stretching them out at the same time, these threads could come out flexible and softer.
I want to see a Chanel jacket made by this! I agree with you, I think that the textile for piyamas needs to "refresh" the user. I think that with that textile experiment it would be difficult to transpire. Keep going! Can´t wait to see more experimentation :)
Hey Liene! I personally love the process you went through, the material you used and the samples you came up with. Cutting things into yarns to weave them after gives you a broad a lot of possibilities for experimentation, so I can't wait to see what you decide to use next!!! In terms of the video maybe you could find a way of communicating all your research behind in a more interactive way, so is more engaging!
Hi Liene, your results look beautiful! I liked the thorough description of the properties of the different samples, it helps to imagine what they feel like. You said the weaving process is very slow, do you think it could easily be accelerated with machines and industrial processes to envision an affordable material? Also I was wondering if you could make a rope with thinner threads to make the fabric softer, using spinning techniques like in the video from Sanne Visser the designer who made rope with human hair.
I think it could be industrialised if the "yarn" is made properly and doesn't break, crisp packets are actually very fragile material! Yes! I was thinking about spinning the "yarn" as well, I think there could be something interesting about twisting it at the same time as heating it up a little.
I actually tried that! But the shredder I used didn't cut the packet, it just left marks, I think it's because its a bit stretchy so that when the blades touch it the packet just stretches rather than get cut :(

I loved your experiments and descriptions! I have an old knitting machine - I will try it with that!
Super awesome work!! Love all of your experiments.

you can control the joining buy using a heat press i’ve been making sketchbook covers using this method

I wonder if you run it through the paper shredder what type of string you would get.
