How to reconstruct the night sky

Make 3 layers of jelly of different colors.

Since ancient times, people have looked up at the night sky and missed the stars. Clear skies, clouds, starlight and raindrops are important themes for Tomei, who creates objects related to transparency and continues to share them on social media.

“I made ‘Starry Sky Jelly Cake’ because I wanted to be able to see the night sky on a sunny day.”

The deep color of the jelly is reminiscent of the night sky and is made with butterfly pea and lemongrass herbal tea. “By adding black pigments such as bamboo charcoal powder, the color will become darker.” (Tomei)

By layering different colors of jelly, you can recreate endless night skies.

“If the first and second layers of jelly are too hard, they will crack, so keep an eye on them and let them cool for an hour or two. The trick is to let them cool until the surface is hard and soft enough to stick to. above.
