Containers Complete

Despite my initial pessimism, the molds came out great. As expected they do not look or feel like regular food containers but they are rigid, thin and clean. I had some real trouble getting the smaller container off the mold and they needed some trimming but overall they were very successful. The resulting texture is a warm, intricate patterning of fibers that is interesting bordering on beautiful but I don't think people would eat off it. My next steps will be to explore how to implant seeds and if plantable packaging is a viable idea.
