Eating crickets

The third week is soon coming to an end and we have come a long way further than the last time we wrote. “The crickets tastes like…!” Last week we made an order of crickets from England to taste and to put into our prototypes later on. We thought that it was time to taste…

The end of this project is just around the corner now! Last week Periferi was focusing on test printing and colors, and this week we were preparing our presentation for the pre-examination.

Sago worm – More horror and darkness

We’ve managed to create a finalized design for both of our two packaging solutions after some feedback.

Printing for the timber man larvae

Recurring texture struggles

Last week we talked about the struggle of making a texture similar to bark for our Timberman larvae.
