dried out sustainable kombucha leather – First attempt

This is the final kombucha leather ‘scoby leather’ dried out. I am very happy with the way it turned out after the growing process had to be halved. If it had been left to grow for the extra two weeks the leather would have been a lot thicker and I would have been able to use it as a proper material. Because it didn’t have much time to grow it is the thickness of paper but it is very strong and flexible. I am aiming to use this in my final exhibition project if I create a book as one of the pages. I wanted to experiment with dying the leather with natural dye but because of the thickness of it I am scared it could get ruined.
