I discovered a number of hints in yesterday's blog, so I would like to write about them.

 

Before that, I learned from yesterday's blog that my buddy R loves pineapple so much that he puts it on pizza. Lol

However, I once had a terrible failure while running an errand.

This story has nothing to do with silk.
Last winter, when I went to buy hamburgers for our lunch, R asked for a hamburger with pineapple, but I forgot to add the pineapple. I bought a simple hamburger and came back with a smile, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the hamburger shop was made for the " pineapple burger " ... I can laugh about it now (I'm just going to pretend it's a thing of the past). lol

 

 

What was the foreshadowing in yesterday's blog ?

When I visited a crepe factory where raw silk is woven into fabric, I heard that scraps of raw silk are produced. I was told that most of these scraps are thrown away.

Because it is silk, it contains a lot of sericin, which is good for your skin.

In the past, they would shred scraps of raw silk that would otherwise become garbage, knead them into udon noodles, and sell them, but now it just ends up as garbage.

This is also a great upcycle.

 

I think it's a shame that there are factories that make very expensive kimono hem fabrics and then throw them away, so I'm wondering if there's something I can use them for.

 

Sericin is also good for the skin, so it goes well with skin and beauty products.

It may not be an exaggeration to say that the great qualities of silk come from sericin!

 

Personally, I'm excited about themes like making use of leftover items and upcycling them to create something different.

 

I am currently exploring whether I can upcycle silk to create good products.
