Chocolate pudding powder feat. marble powder REMIX
Nina Wittenbrink
S is for stone, and C is for chocolate pudding powder. Everybody knows that. So, what if we mix up the alphabet and put S and C together? ASC. All natural ingredients with Stone and Chocolate pudding powder “in the remix” to explore the endless possibilities of creating new materials. This rocks.
Starting without knowledge about materials and curiosity about integrating my unused chocolate pudding powder in the experiment, I began mixing different leftovers from my kitchen with the collected marble powder from LASA MARMO. My only aim was to use leftovers I create frequently to process my biological waste into something new instead of throwing it. Remanufacturing *home edition*
After my first experiments turned out unexpectedly hard and unbreakable even if you drop them, I wanted to recreate them to explore more characteristics. Unfortunately, I didn’t write down the ingredients I used or how I processed them. That led to my new aim for the semester: Recreate that recipe. Like Plankton in SpongeBob SquarePants, I tried to steal the “holy Krabby Patty secret formula” from myself. Because my brain was keeping it from me.
My inner Sherlock managed to find and recreate four samples, close to the original ones.
I combined the nutritious marble with the (when combined with liquid) gel-like chocolate pudding powder and glued it with some cooked linseeds water and linseeds. Until then the samples are very fragile. What I forgot: crushed eggshells. Full of calcium carbonate they strengthen the structure of that material and make the whole sample less porous.
To recreate the samples and further develop them you can find the recipe here:
