U.K. Designer “Grows” an Entire Wardrobe From Bacteria
Suzanne Lee can conjure clothing out of thin air. No, wait, that’s not entirely accurate. She’ll need at least a couple of bathtubs, some yeast, a pinch of bacteria, and several cups of sweetened green tea. Lee, who is a senior research fellow at the School of Fashion & Textiles at Central Saint Martins in London, is the brains (and brawn) behind BioCouture, an experiment in growing garments from the same microbes that ferment the tasty caffeinated beverage.
From this microbial soup, fibers begin to sprout and propagate, eventually resulting in thin, wet sheets of bacterial cellulose that can be molded to a dress form. As the sheets dry out, overlapping edges “felt” together to become fused seams.
That is way cool, Jess!
My day has been weird and stressy. Liv has been grating on my last, raw nerve and I've started stress eating again.
Need to nop that in the bud.
I'm back to stress not eating. Let's mind meld, Cash.
Stuff is not going well at work and I want to run and hide.
As Judith Viorst put it, "why is it when I'm eating my heart out I'm also eating everything else?"
(contemplates the two pieces of (someone else's) birthday cake that made up lunch)
Done with work for the day. Now off to PO again (2 more boxes to mail) and then the library (return 1 book, donate several).

Judith Viorst quotes are the answer to many things.
It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
But cursing helps too.
Trade you ita--I've gained stress weight from bad eating. Argh.
Ha! Have a muffin (donut) whitey!
