Abstract
An artificial flower, plant, or other botanical is produced from an aqueous agar-based solidifying mixture. The artificial botanical may be colored as desired by adding one or more colorants. The artificial botanical may also be scented by adding a perfume, odorant, or other scent. Because the artificial botanical is produced using the aqueous agar-based solidifying mixture, no animal-based gelatin products are used. The artificial botanical may thus also be edible and satisfies vegan diets. The artificial botanical may thus also be flavored by adding a flavoring, such as fruit, concentrate, or sweetener. The artificial botanical may be all-natural and edible by adding mica powder as the colorant and by adding glycerin as the flavoring.
Claims20
An artificial flower process of fabricating an artificial flower, comprising:
- producing an agar-based mixture by mixing only agar, glycerin, and water;
- producing a boiled agar-based mixture by boiling the agar-based mixture;
- producing a soapy boiled agar-based mixture by adding a soap to the boiled agar-based mixture that mixes only the agar, the glycerin, and the water;
- producing a woolly soapy boiled agar-based mixture by adding a wool material to the soapy boiled agar-based mixture;
- flower cavity casting the woolly soapy boiled agar-based mixture in a flower mold cavity;
- solidifying the artificial flower by cooling the woolly soapy boiled agar-based mixture cavity casted in the flower mold cavity;
- and
- removing the artificial flower from the flower mold cavity.
An artificial flower process of fabricating an all-natural, edible, and vegan artificial flower, comprising:
- producing an aqueous agar-based artificial flower mixture by mixing only agar, glycerin, and water at a 2:1:30 ratio by weight;
- producing a boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture by boiling the aqueous agar-based artificial flower mixture;
- producing a soapy boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture by adding a soap to the boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture;
- producing a woolly soapy boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture by adding a wool material to the soapy boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture;
- cavity casting the all-natural, edible, and vegan artificial flower by pouring the woolly soapy boiled agar-based artificial flower mixture in a flower-shaped mold cavity;
- solidifying the all-natural, edible, and vegan artificial flower by cooling the cavity casting of the all-natural, edible, and vegan artificial flower in the flower-shaped mold cavity;
- and
- removing the all-natural, edible, and vegan artificial flower from the flower-shaped mold cavity.
