I want this SVG learning tool/sandbox to make it easy to learn how path commands work - dragging points won't act similar to in a typical design tool! to make it also useful as an editing tool, I added a way to convert the commands to absolute ones, which are a bit more familiar

A client teaches her child with creative thinking. To encourage the child, she build the 3D model of toy bags from doodles from the kid and 3D print them out. They prepared to paint the bags together. 3D printing can be the best teaching aid. #3dprint #prototype #toy #teaching

I'm thinking about the process so differently now that I've finally tried getting these off the screen. Many new thoughts and questions about the stitch order and stitch type, and where jump stitches happen. And of course, materials!

After many inspiring weeks of #teaandturtlestitch, finally found a moment for a first attempt with the embroidery machine. Right shapes came with the machine, left are #turtlestitch designs. I broke a needle, wonder why! Now pondering Euler path math and jump stitches...

We remixed the Exquisite Corpse drawing game for paper circuits! #exquisitecircuits Here’s one of the rounds, played with @becca_rose___ @bliedahl @qijie @fayetteshaw This was a fun and surprising context for circuit design. Hoping others join in and try their own variations!
