The character Tauriel is not present in The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, but she was added to the films by Peter Jackson. The director created Tauriel so there would be at least one female character present. Evangeline Lilly played the warrior elf, and this costume by Tina Rybakova looks like stills from the movies. Rybakova does resemble Lilly, but it’s more about the construction of the costume. Everything about the look from the long wig, to the carved bow, to the leather belt looks screen accurate.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
