Soft Robotic class

I have taken the class called “soft robotics” taught by Kari Love and found that doing it at home is relaxing to me. That class is really great and funny. I am just sharing some skills I acquired and shows some of my exploration.
Doing silicone casting is interesting. If you have not seen my first blog post about inflatable silicone, here is the link:

I would try better ways to combine the silicone and the hair together to get the hair denser.
