Bring this same mentality of using scrap materials to your creative practice by making your own recycled, recyclable, and compostable modeling materials using leftover kitchen and art supplies with a blender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI created the Cai Modeling Materials because I was tired of breathing in plastic dust while making models as more and more data came out about the harm caused by microplastics. They are DIY  alternatives to plastic-based modeling materials that you can make at home or in a studio. Cai Clay is an alternative to air drying clays and Cai Board is an alternative to sheet foam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e124 page workbook\u003c\/strong\u003e walks you through how to make both materials. It provides alternative ingredients for making them so that you can choose whatever is most accessible and affordable for you. It also provides 5 recipes for compostable homemade glue, options for coloring your materials using a variety of ingredients, and instructions on how to stencil print and stamp with Cai Clay. All while encouraging experimentation and guiding you through ways of re-thinking your household waste through 14 workbook sections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe printed workbook pages are 8-1\/2\" x 11\", and including the spiral binding, the book's total dimensions are 8-7\/8\" x 11\" x 5\/8\". The book itself was printed on recycled paper that is uncoated, so can be recycled or made into more Cai Modeling Materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"314\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BX29zqlOuz0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChapters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding Knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSafety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing Waste Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCoatings + Colorings**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLet’s Get Making!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eStarter Recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLet’s Make Cai Board!*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCai Board Guidelines for Making It Your Own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCai Board Recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLet’s Make Cai Clay!*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCai Clay Guidelines for Making It Your Own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCai Clay Recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTroubleshooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMolding \u0026amp; Drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eGluing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eConstruction*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainting and Printing with Cai Clay**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAfter Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e*A single asterisk denotes a chapter that has been reorganized compared to the eBook version.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Double asterisks denotes a chapter that is unique to the printed workbook, so not in the abridged eBook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich version is right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003eAn abridged eBook version that is 48 pages long and contains five fewer chapters is also available.
