MOLDS

After group work everyone said that the idea of molding  is really good one  - which affirmed me even more in my idea! Also conversation with Andy with regards to transportation allowed me think about the best solution. Easily transportable?? not sure, I think it needs to closed up.

I have been thinking about the mold and perhaps that could be an insert inside the box. It will be firm and it will keep the products in tact  - and as it is a box it will also work better with regards to transportation...
As I do not have mycelium I have been experimenting with papier mache to create it:
  
  


I have looked back at my doodles and thought of another idea - follow on my molds - I wonder if  a  box entirely molded apart from the top part, which will close and open the box, will work??
And here it is:


 as it is a mini box it was quite tricky to create precision, but hopefully when it comes to larger scale it will be easier.

Unfortunately I can not find company in UK that would work with mycelium....

  1. Lovely early thinking Kashka and I like the pulped paper moulds idea too. These are so easy to make commercially and it could well be moulded into something that both transports/protects and then also has an alternate use maybe?
