Cosplayer MsBernadetteB is known for her Xena: Warrior Princess costume, but sometimes she sports a different take on the character. The above photo features her as Xena Warrior Princess Princess. The ensemble combines the armor and weaponry with a large ball gown style skirt (it’s the width of a hallway) and a perfectly themed tiara (it’s made from mini chakrams). The dress looks heavy but also like so much fun to wear. And the creation of the costume is a team effort. The creativity of many makers came together here with the ball gown by Chad Hatter, the Xena armor by Todd’s Costumes, a corset by Castle Corsetry, a wig by Outfitters Wig, and a tiara by Igor Pinsky.
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.
