 Here is the documentation of making experiments I performed during my Transiency. Making seems to be a performance-enhancing activity complementary to mind-centered work. Increasing the amount of making activities in my schedule is therefore part of my research towards Self-Sufficiency as well as my research towards a more efficient and pleasant [[michka:daily_schedule_scheme|Daily Schedule Scheme]]. Here is the documentation of making experiments I performed during my Transiency.

-I prepared [[:michka/know-hows/tomatillo_chutney|Tomatillo's chutney]] out of green tomatillos which were kindly offered to me by [[http://opengreens.okno.be/person.php?id=85|Annemie]] after a day spent working in her [[http://annemariemaes.net/research/urban-corridors/urban-artfarm-2012/|rooftop garden]].+Self-sufficiency starts with one of our most basic needs: Food. I will therefore try to learn the basic of gardening this year. FoAM gave me their balcony as an experimental space for an urban vertical garden. I will try to make the most of this space, including the valorisation of some of these byproducts for non-alimentary activities.

 +Being an absolute fan of [[:michka/cramique|cramique]], the famous raisins-containing Belgian brioche, I decided I would try to cook it myself.

 +==Obtaining Raw Materials==
 +
 +Everytime I walk through Brussels, I stumble on hundreds of kilos of not-that-waste materials. Rather than buying new materials, I will try to make the most of this existing resource to make objects.
 +
 +However, matching what you need with what you find needs a little bit of strategy. I will therefore document here my [[:michka:know_hows:urban_foraging|Urban Foraging]] experiments and good practices.
 +
 +An abundant urban waste-resource material is wood, mainly in the shape of pallets. Here is what I learned during my two first [[:michka/know-hows/pallet_dismantling|pallet dismantling]] experiments.
