+I also really liked her experiments with tesselation in the Textile as Scaffold week. The slow movements the textile creates are really nice to watch. 
+
+And also her voronoi for [computational couture](https://class.textile-academy.org/2019/jessica.stanley/assignments/week07/) are so cool. She printed these shapes on stretchy fabric, making the textile pull itself into a 3D shape.

+### Go big or go home: drag performers and other style queens
+This is something I've been obsessed with for a long time. I think the innovative ways of thinking about the malleability and unstable nature of the body and gender is super interesting and made me fall in love with this art form. I do it myself sometimes too :) No RuPaul quote is lost on me (we're all born naked and the rest is...you know the rest). I'd love to take as many assignments as possible closer toward something that might be applicable in the context of the art of drag to develop into a larger project later. I imagine eco-aware drag could be a very interesting avenue to explore. In the meantime, I'll summarize as: go big, or go home.

 ## Assembling
 
+In the end I tinkered a lot with the modules to see how I could combine them to create various shapes. I made big sheets combining different modules, by going bigger or smaller per row to understand what kind of shapes it would create. I didn't quite realize how long it was going to take me to create a big surface, and I ran out of material so I settled on a garment I could make with the amount of modules I'd cut.

+To make this piece you need to cut these amounts of modules 3-6 (modules 1-2 are too small and fragile, module 7 is a bit too big for this), or more/less depending on your size. I'm a size UK10, EUR38.

 ### How-to
 
-## Room for improvement?
+The design for the choker, the shoulder piece and the head piece are all the same. Starting from the left ear, you want to start with a row of 21 x module 3, and then to that line start attaching the other modules following the table above. 
+
+For a headpiece you might want to mount it on a plastic head band/tiara, or secure it to your hair or wig with bobby pins.

+The other sheet was poured when the mixture was properly thickened and became a beautiful strong and shiny sheet. Thicker than the first one. WHOA! They even sound nice. Satisfaction all around.

+**A note on releasing sheets from acrylic**
+
+Using a thinner sheet allows you to bend the acrylic in different directions (slightly), which creates a surface tension that helps the foil release, as shown by Cecilia in the video below. Once a little edge is off the rest is easier. For example the blue tapioca foil was really brittle, so the edges (that are thinner) cracked easily. A stanley knife helped me creep below the thinner edges and allowed me to salvage the foil quite well (see video above).

 ##Alginate Plastics
 
 Alginate plastic is bioplastic that is heat resistant up to 150 degrees celcius. It can be made using the technique of *spherification* – where you drop liquid that contains sodium alginate into a calcium chloride bath, resulting in perfect balls if that's what you're after. Or through *reverse spherification* – where a high acid/alcohol/calcium mixture such as lactate is dripped into a sodium alginate bath, typically resulting in blobs. But this all depends on your recipe I guess. Related techniques, using the same two components:

+My results were very mixed. I contaminated my large petri dish during inoculation and it didn't grown properly at all, but the four petri dishes of coffee ground I inoculated were a bit better. Two were looking nice and white and fluffy, but they aren't growing very fast. Two of them were contaminated which you can see by the color. It's nasty green, eww. It also doesn't smell great here right about now. I flushed the mycelium in broth down the toilet and cleaned the dish for a new attempt. Bea and Bela have beautiful pristine mycelium growing in their broth though! Well done girls.

+>Our lives are henged round with systems of classification, limned by standard formats, prescriptions, and objects. Enter a modern home an you are surrounded by standards and categories spanning the color of paint on the walls and in the fabric of the furniture, the types of wires strung to appliances, the codes in the building permits allowing the kitchen sink to be properly plumbed and the walls to be adequately fireproofed. Ignore these forms at your peril – as a building owner, be sued by irate tenants; as an inspector, risk malpractice suits denying your proper application of the ideal to the case at hand; as a parent, risk toxic paint threatening your children. To classify is human.
