We have found that different weight polymers bound together, and printed with different types of inks determine the motility and active behavior of the stars.
Here the 'red mother star' ensnares the smaller black star, causing it to 'drown' first.
We are experimenting with increasing erratic 'animal like' behaviour, so that once the dresses have been submerged and as they dissolve, a second life occupies the water for a while longer - a kind of deep
water ballet of chemistry

The experiment somehow seems to emphasize the eternal course of beauty , when a gracious and beautiful see star like shaped material crumbles during the process into a pile of ordinary shapeless residue .....

In reply to Galileo's Universe:

Thank you for the comment you left about our early experiments. You have homed in on the currency that all our collaborators on this project, in particular the textile and science teams, have been moved by. We weren't expecting, or intending on bringing ' plastic' to life.... the conversations that are sometimes overheard in the lab are hysterical, as we each seem to spontaneously humanise these little plastic creatures - the last one I set free in water was a ' Rachel' why ? no idea.

Tank you for your courtesy and interesting comment about ' spontaneously humanise these little plastic creatures ' ...
On a note ... the name Rachel somehow seems rather appropriate in certain way ..... after all 'Rachel' was the beloved one, therefore the last one to go :):).....

spiders don't swim. They use objects to themselves through the water or else they walk on the surface.
