I experimented with gelatin, agar and cornstarch based bioplastic. Compare with the other two materials. The bioplastic is the most malleable. During the investigations, I found the hardness of the bioplastic has increased over time, but the great thing is at the beginning, they are effortless to cut and can be molded into any shape. I am fascinated by its transparency, waterproof, and capacity of color dyeing.
