* Slime on Transparent paper
21. Nov. 2021 _ Transparent paper, slime, oat, purified water 2% agar. Store in plastic bag.
22. Nov. 2021 (+ 1 day)
23. Nov. 2021 (+ 2days)
As the agar syrup medium dried, the slime also dried and turned white. (but the traces of the slime that turned white are also beautiful. )
+ comment
1. As the agar syrup medium dried, the slime also dried and turned white. Where is a best place to store the paper for the slime to grow healthy?
2. Under the right environment, slime will grow constantly. How do I stop the growth of slime when the desired pattern is reached (when I want to stop drawing)? to dry?
3.
The paper is too thin and loses its shape from agarwater. Change to thick paper. But continue to work on transparent paper. Because it is more metaphoric and poetic.

In the case of the yellow drawing left in the shade without sealing, the medium dried quickly and the slime did not grow much.
