*Experiment 2: glowing neopixel crystals, to embed into a wig or headpiece (I didn't do this in the end because I quite like the wearable public transport chipcard idea, Loes Bogers, 2019*
##Material explorations
I started this week by doing some material exploration based on inspiring projects before settling on an idea. So I tried out a few things that are within reach (within reason). I will see what works out well and then continue one or more of the ideas.

###Making a color-changing second skin
I already mentioned this project *Coral Love Stories *by Kasia Molga (with Erik Overmeire and Ricardo O'Nascimento). After having done a little work with thermochromic pigment in the last electronics week I thought this would be incredibly cool to explore a little further. Perhaps a little skin swatch is within reach here.

**Mix thermochromic pigment with liquid latex**
I mixed up a good teaspoon of green thermochromic pigment with the liquid latex and cast some patches with conductive thread and conductive fabric inside.

###Making RFID skin electronics

![](../images/wk13_sealerkryolan.jpg)*Kryolan product placement next to my RFID chip, Loes Bogers, 2019*
After a good amount of sealing and drying, I peeled off the chip and glued it to my skin using Kryolan Prosaide (a skin glue used for wigs and mustaches). Then I covered it with some Kryolan TV stick in my skin tone, and powdered it off. TV stick is a concealer with extremly high coverage. You can still see that there's something there - the edges will show a little - but with some theater wax you'd be able to camouflage the edges much more. Now off to bow to the machine!
