Bioplastic coatings on fabrics

I’m using the gelatine biosilicone recipe I used before, this time casting directly on top of different fabrics. I used campeche to color the mixtures giving it a soft pink hue.

On the right image below the dried coating with a corner peeled off, and on the bottom a complete sample peeled off.

The outcome of these tests is that the biosilicone deforms the fabric irregularly, gives it a shine, makes it stiffer and that it can be used to adhere (3d printed) objects to a fabric. You can also cast it on a fabric and peel it off in some cases to copy the texture of that fabric.
