Do you know that the orange skin leftovers can be useful.

First it became my model because of its odd shape.  Depend on how it was teared, it would have artistic shape.  The thin part of the skin is even semi-transparent, which is good for me to create the backlighting effect.

It can sit on the sofa.

It can lie on the sofa.

Do not under-estimate its artistic properties, it is rich in artistic texture.

I put it next to the windows, and can you see the little effect of backlighting?

It looked like a fat guy standing next to the windows looking outside.

With side-lighting, the texture of the inner part of an orange skin can be clearly seen.

Well,  besides the above, I did not throw it away at the end of the photography session.  Instead, I used it to make enzyme.

Making enzyme is getting popular, and I also gave it a try.  I only use orange skin to make the enzyme to prevent bad smell.  The orange skin contain high citric acid which prevent it from getting smelly during the fermentation process.

My purpose is to make enzyme for washing and as fertilizer for my plants.  Therefore, I use the cheapest ingredients.  I am not sure if I can use the normal white sugar because most of the information I read does not say that white sugar can be used, they use brown sugar or honey instead.  But why don’t I just give it a try!!!  I will harvest it on 9th April this year.

My way of doing it is very simple, 3 parts of orange skin, 1 part of white sugar, and 10 parts of water.  Leave some space in the bottle, keep everything clean during the whole process, shake and open the bottle every day to release the gas in the bottle.

Wish me success in making my first enzyme.  :)

If you know what happen if I use white sugar to make enzyme, please tell me.
