Failure, Re-calibration & Iteration

Everett Johnson

This week I failed at one minor thing but was able to move past it. I failed at not getting the correct materials for my project, but ending up making due with what I ordered. I was originally hoping to receive some thicker wire to make the main support structures on my project thicker than just the base material. However what I received was very small wire, so what I ended up doing was using the base wire thickness to create the frame and then double up on it later instead of waiting even longer to create the frame that I desired. I then ended up using the smaller wire I received to act as a thread to sew parts of the wire together. I am currently continuing to build my dragon and will have its frame work probably done by the end of the week where I will then focus on the LED’s and getting them all set up within the dragon, making sure that the light part of this project works as intended and is positioned to not just be super bright but also be visually appealing. Below is an image of the work that I have done on the dragon so far:
