+### 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 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.

+
 ### 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!

 ##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!!

 I really loved one of the wooden molds Anastasia showed in her [presentation on *Cuir Bouilli*](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1l996bONiYH1lQwb3qWC1InSZ1QEAp0LpILAAkpUZ6dA/edit#slide=id.g467e8bcb80_1_157), and thought it would be feasible for me to create a similar design using Grasshopper. So I did! This is the inspiration piece :) As I was playing around with it I kind of liked a less tidy piece, one that maybe looks a bit more like a tumor growing than a collection of neatly arranged spheres.

 I finally vacuum sealed the whole thing in a vacuum bag and sucked the air out of it with a vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately the vacuum did not hold at all. I think it's because I mounted the mold onto a cardboard box to tension the cling film over it. I think it's impossible to vacuum the box. I tried about ten times but it kept going out of vacuum. Then I decided to take another route. So I took off the bag and the extra layers to let the resin airdry faster. In that case I might be able to use the mold again tomorrow. It was nice to see that the bleeder did its job and soaked up some of the excess bioresin.

Why not. cut my 1 mm thick black leather into a rectangle and soaked it in cold water overnight.

-##FTDI cable and soft serial for Attiny
-
-Attiny cannot just write to the serial the way an Arduino UNO can, it doesn't have UART. But you can designate any 2 pins as RX (receive) and TX (transmit), and connect an FTDI cable to it. I have a [TTL-232R-5V cable from Farnell](https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiCmuXgqpnmAhVP4ncKHTL1B7YYABAAGgJlZg&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2tiG4wFpIijcjbezQf1TpzpW1UCDQloiGTyGls9IPkhgoEnmkyQ_3yWNKi0BYGwm9PdE3MAOL8ymX8S-DY-g&sig=AOD64_3_4kluOTjbSLdEXpBf9BiWpR2YdA&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjTlN7gqpnmAhXDL1AKHciGBtoQ0Qx6BAgZEAE&adurl=&bg=!IiGlITlYQkx731BU_RYCAAAATlIAAAAHCgBLX5I5nWbc1Yk7OzAUaVk9k_alV6ix5mAy9MtC7Ehnd6I79c8HYezbERdSkLG-8JsFcShX-34-URsr1GAowkWwlcDgpFFRVv0HcqyjmQDeYa6y6FITxcZqpVNaRGU-uuHgk8nAmap84jBasw1ghuJaMcdNH4TS4KtIrhP7i1kuTfGqf54QrvnAye8zZFdaIR0cEesxMixzabPfsNB9jsZD5D7i8r1cCjEXvv1IOtp4VXpLgD2fIlQfUHtP2_7vAfejJvv_MfgpwEGdIJyAhEeT6Cm9CP2sl6XOouIfUOjDkYyuBk9nKiIr5hjRuAVqpA0ABmEKS3Y56tB-uJ3a1ih4D_0UcJ-hiyynolf5JcPi1Q1U83_9I7XcMcHXX_kyLIfD6oh6Ef57Ha4aZmGw) (also comes in a 3.3V version which is nice for wearables). You have to install a bunch of drivers to use them, which can be a bit of a pain but I already have them installed. You can find the [drivers here] (https://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm). If you're not sure you can check whether the drivers are installed by plugging in the FTDI cable and checking under \> Ports in Arduino IDE to see if another serial port shows up. Which it did!

-**Preparing an integrated swatch**
-
-I had to change the schematic and code a little bit when I added the LED to the circuit, because I had no PWM pins left to put it on so had to move stuff around. I moved the TX pin from pin 0 to pin 2 so I could free up pin 0 for the LED to fade. Pin 3 and 4 stay there because I need ADC for analogReads of the capacitive sensor.
-
-To be clear, the schematic above was changed a little. With the code above (that has the LED in it as well), THIS is the circuit for it:

-**Hard-soft connections for IC and power pads**
-
-Then I went on to prepare the hard-soft connections a little bit. I had issues with the power supply and IC before, they seem to be the hardest to get right. I wanted to add bigger connector pads for my alligator clips to power the swatch and hand cut them from some conductive textile with heat 'n bond, there were plenty of leftovers to do this with. 
-
-![](../images/wk10_solderingleads.jpg)*Preparing the power connectors by adding a bit of solder to the textile and thread first, Loes Bogers, 2019*
-
-For the IC, I thought I could maybe work with the crimp beads I found. They're basically small metal cylinders that you can squeeze shut with plyers. I prepared the IC socket by pusing it through the neoprene and putting some solder on the legs, then I put some solder on the crimp beads, and finally I soldered the crimp beads to the legs. What a figdety job, but it worked. The beads are a bit wider than the distance between the legs but since the Attiny85 has only 8 legs, you can bend the legs outward to make sure they don't touch.

-*Designing the swatch*
-
-I drew a basic layout of the design, of where the components would be, and how the traces might run, but basically freehanded the rest. I used a beautiful black and gold conductive wire. It's gorgeous, but also breaks easily. The metal strands snap easily when you pull at it. So this only really works nicely with the right size needle and a fabric that is a bit more loosely woven of perforated, it's just too easy to snap the conductive strands of the wire leaving your traces broken. Gorgeous though. I did switch o stainless steel for the black diamond part of the circuit, partially because I was fed up and partially because I wanted to know if it was easier to connect to the IC/crimpbead-connectors. Definitely easier.
