Paper Folds

Spiral: 

Glow: It is a spiral and the triangles that make it up are defined.

Grow: Next time make it with a thinner longer sheet of paper so it will spiral more.

Knife plates:

Glow: They are simple but effective.

Grow: Each plate is not the same size, so next time measure more precisely.

Gathered Plates:

 Glow: They look super cool and interesting.

Grow: Next time use a larger piece of paper so that they will spiral as you make more.

Mold Ratios

Logan Sudol

Concrete: .4 water .6 concrete

clay: not sure

Plaster: 1 part water 2 parts plaster

Epoxy: 1:1

Bio-plastic: 10ml water, .5-1.5g glycerine, 1.5g corn starch, 1ml white vinegar. 

Mycelium is very complicated, I haven't found a consistent ratio, but it does say to keep space very clean to not have mold.
