Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Jewellery made from human milk
The jewellery is made by boiling human milk mixed with vinegar. This causes the casein protein in the milk to harden into a plastic, which can then be painted and moulded into any shape. Their work, which they call “perle de lait” (milk pearl), is to go on display at an exhibition exploring the sharing of food between mother and child in September.

What’s next, “perle de la merde”?
