Morgan, also known as Methyl Ethyl Cosplay, has been working on an armored version of Poison Ivy’s costume for the past couple of months. We shared her incredibly detailed work with Worbla on the breastplate previously, but she’s moved onto crafting other sections of the armor. She cut several leaves out of the material for the leg armor and added Worbla to craft foam using the sandwich method. She also made a headpiece, hip armor, and plating to go on her boots and hands. She just finished building a prop for the costume, too — Poison Ivy clearly needs a giant plant by her side. Morgan sculpted the creature from Worbla and used expanding foam for touches like the tongue. The vicious plant stands almost as tall as she does.

8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
Electronics — Hummm… 60Hz noise in your amplifier driving you nuts?
