After researching the best way to use plant leaves as fabric, and coming up with a design for their dress, the four students started collecting the leaves. Some species were readily available on campus, but others, like magnolia leaves were not, so they had to travel to Tianzhu Mountain to collect them.
在研究出用树叶作为面料的最佳方式和画好裙子的设计图后,四个学生就开始收集树叶。有些树叶在校园里很容易找到,但有些树叶,比如广玉兰树叶,校园里就没有,为了收集这些叶子他们还特地去了天柱山。
To ensure that the collected leaves didn’t shrivel or rot, the students removed the flesh by boiling them in alkali and sodium carbonate solution for about two hours. This made the flesh easier peeled away, leaving only the “skeleton” of the leaf, a thin film with all the intricate veins left intact.
为了确保这些收集来的叶子不会枯萎或腐烂,这些学生把叶子放在碱水和苏打水中煮两个小时来去除叶肉。这样能让叶肉更容易剥离,留下来的只有叶子的“骨架”,一张脉络完整的薄膜。
The four science and biotechnology students could only work on their special dress after classes and on weekends, so it took them nearly four months to complete. That’s a pretty long time, but it all paid off when one of the girls got to finally put on the leaf dress and show it off to everyone. They posted photos of it, at various stages, online, and it went viral almost instantly.
