I decided to use gum arabic and honey, which showed the greatest change through experiments of graphite particles and other liquids.

Approximately, graphite particles, gum arabic and honey were mixed in a 3:1:1 ratio.

It is a condition about two hours after mixing graphite particles, gum arabic and honey. Like the walls of a cup, the thin paste dried up quickly and became a firm opponent. It feels similar to a very rough sandpaper and has a very bumpy surface.

But the lump of paste was much thicker than it was before. When mixed, it felt like a very soft dough, but over time it became a very thick, rough dough.

Let dough sit for another hour or so after two hours. The dough became very thick and felt neither liquid nor solid. Like chewing gum for a long time. It was a familiar and unusual feeling at the same time. It felt like cement dough. It felt like watery clay, but the rough and unusual texture was very satisfying.

Right after the dough is applied.

After dough is almost dried. It has a slightly contradictory texture to the expected outcome of graphite particles when they are kneading. It has a similar texture to rough asphalt. And it also has a very unique texture pattern.

The paints made from graphite are made with similar principles to the graphite paste above. However, it was manufactured by reducing the ratio of honey and increasing the ratio of gum arabic. Frankly, there is a bit of a rough side to paint. It is similar to painting with small amount of water with acrylic paint.

I attached a double-sided tape to the paper so that it shows the desired shape and drew it by spraying graphite powder. The act of spraying graphite on paper was very interesting and fun to do.

The results were one of the most pleasing experiments. Graphite powder was randomly attached to tape, so each part was emphasized differently, and the texture that could be felt with the eyes was also very interesting.

Graphite powder using pencil sharpener produced more interesting results.
