I decided that for my project I would make a plush that lit up with eyes that changed color based on light levels. First I made the base pattern and then enlarged it after deciding that it might not be big enough. Then I made the prototype sewing the pieces together and glued fake lilypad components to try and find the proper way to make the circuit. Next I tried the code multiple times but it didn't work as intended though after a lot of testing I discovered that the sensor was indeed working and I added a delay factor since numbers change very quickly. (The tests were using many scrap fabric pieces.) Then I made the pattern with a new head for the final and cut out the components. Once I sew the plush together I will attach the lilypad components and test the code further to see why the light sensor does not appear to affect the leds like I want it to.

I decided to start on the beads for my project so I started to create the model in sculptris. I decided that I wanted one that was a bit curvy like the antennae sea slugs have so I used the grab tool for the basic shape, then refined the shape using the grab, smooth, and inflate tools. I also flattened the front to get started on my first idea for how to make it into a bead. Next I imported it into tinkercad, added a cylinder, made it the size I wanted. I then copied it, made the copy a bit smaller, turned it into a hole and grouped the two together so the first one had a hole in it. I also grouped the shape with the cylinder before realizing that I wanted it to be a different way so I turned the cylinder sideways. I then created a second design as I was worried about the walls getting too thin if this was scaled down so I put the hole in the shape instead. I then sent both to my dad to 3d print and wanted glow in the dark blue though he tested in white first, which I agreed to. I also had him scale it down after it was way too big. The one with the attached cylinder did not appear to be successful.
