+
+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.

+
+I really enjoy the hectic **embellishments by Justyna Wolodkiewicz** and the one on the **pink skirt by Anya Hindmarch** There's loads out there. One reason why I like this is because I imagine picking cleverly from waste materials will allow for a lot of cool designs. They can also be combined with electronics perhaps?

I made big sheets combining different modules, by going bigger or smaller per row to understand what kind of shapes it would create.

+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.

+| Row    |  Amount    |  Module |

 ### 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.

 We built a prototype for a sheet casting tool to accommodate our needs and desires to produce large and evenly flat sheet materials made of bioplastics such as the gelatine and agar-based ones, and the alginate plastics we made last week. We tested the machine by casting a sheet with alginate plastic. So far, the machine functions and we made a lovely 2mm sheet with it (which shrank a bit)l but could be improved by finding a better solution for keep the walls together – the silicon glue didn’t hold. And also the wiper or squeegee could have a deeper wiping edge so the strips can act as walls. Excess liquid will creep up, and could be contained if the wiper sinks a little deeper by default. Anyway, details details. Here's our working prototype!

 ##Settling on shared terminology & toolology
 
 Our names for stuff! Very important here. They might not be “correct”, they might not be “the technical terms”, but they work for us until they don't. What use are symbols and proper names if you don’t share them anyway? They are useless even if they’re not.  And if you share them, why wouldn’t a different name work just as well?

 * We tried to cut 10mm thick wood sheets but could not get through well even at power 100, speed 10. So Henk cleaned the lens of the laser for us. This helped and we could cut it well at Speed 12, Power 100. 
 * We did a cuttest to allow the bolts to fit well, but found out that we measured the smooth shaft, but not the screw wire (which is wider). As a result, the bolts are quite hard to go through at first and then – when they reach the smooth shaft part – are a bit loose. Which is fine when they are in the box, but it makes it very hard to add and remove the height strips if you want to alternate between casting thicker and thinner materials. Bela went to get smaller bolts.

 ##Rhino design tips (now we’ve found all cutting hurdles)
 
-[INSERT]  Bea's notes here on exploding and exporting!
+We had many different problems, comes and goes from Rhino to the laser cut software. I believe the main reason was related to how the polylines were constructed and that they were being exported as very complex shapes for the laser cut program to read. 
+
+After all making these basic commands showed the best success rate: **Group** all your shapes, then **Explode** (it breaks into single unit objects, polylines or surfaces depending on the object), after that **SelDup**, this will shows the curves you have duplicated, you can just delete those. Now make sure to select the lines you want the laser cut to run all together and command **Join** do this for all the different groups. Having everything selected, go to File > Export selected > DXF option.
+
+At some moment, based on Cecilia’s recommendation, what made the file work was going into **Options** on the export settings and choose for “2007 Polylines” option. But in some other attempts it didn’t make a difference, so not really sure what is the final conclusion here. But if nothing else works, maybe you want to consider trying it as well!!

+>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.
