Garments Made from Vinegar and Kombucha Mothers!

An Australian scientist, Gary Cass, and designer, Donna Franklin, recently created a garment from mother-of-vinegar grown on red wine (see links below), reminding me of a story from a couple of years ago of a English designer Suzanne Lee, who made a dress from mother of kombucha.

See links below for more info and images. If you experiment in this vein and make any garments or sculptures from these cellulose mothers, please send images for me to post here!
