Cosplay Caranrod has spent the past four months or so crafting a large-scale, impressive replica of World of Warcraft’s Lady Vashj costume. The ensemble includes armor, a weapon prop (a long bow), extra limbs, a scale-covered tail, sculpted hair, and special effects makeup (that’s by GFatelier). The number of techniques involved in construction is vast, and the project had to be a test of creativity and skill. Caranrod took photos along the way. The process started with several sketches and then sculpting snakes for Vashj’s hair.

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.
