This is really interesting...
"Designer Elsbeth Joy Nielsen from the Netherlands has discovered a way of producing silk without killing silkworms.
Normally the worms die when their cocoons are boiled to loosen the silk;
Nielsen's technique allows them to create a patch of pure silk while
crawling back and forth over a platter looking for a place to build their
cocoons. Once the panel is complete, they are left to pupate naturally. The
resulting scarf demonstrates the material's exquisite beauty."
The photograph is so stunning! Via Dezeen and Roger Live.
This is really interesting!! I am still impressed how this worked and the dress is fantastic :-)
