Mardi Gras lights!

Ada, Tim and everyone who was around at the time helped out a regular who runs a Mardi Gras float. Thanks everyone for the spectacular lights!

The colours all corresponded to different words on the five maypoles, so we wanted all thirty or so different strands to be different colours.

Mardi Gras lights!

The circuit that was designed for the purpose has been written up in an electronics magazine.

Mardi Gras lights!

There were many near misses - the electronics ran late and we never got to light up the signage, even then we only got the float to the city two minutes before lockdown; one battery pulled out and a whole pole went dark but it was quickly fixed by judicious use of an occy strap; by the end of the parade the pole with one fewer battery gave up its fine colours and glowed only red!

Still, it was a huge undertaking and an amazing result. A fantastic time was had by all, and even though we were far from the biggest or brightest float of 2014, it’s been well remembered (and even understood!) by many people from the crowd.

Mardi Gras lights!

Anyone wanting more info or who would like to help out on next year’s float (providing you are queer-friendly and atheist-friendly!) can visit queeratheists.org.

This is a stand for hatpins, the deadly ornament women used to...

This is a stand for hatpins, the deadly ornament women used to secure their
hats to their heads in the nineteenth and early centuries. The long pin is
very Titanic, made to fix a giant hat to bouffant hair, but the others are
probably from later, as hats got smaller and hairstyles simpler.

I needed a way to stop my hatpins from stabbing me, so when I got my hands
on the simple 3D design program at tinkercad.com, i designed one. This is
based off some silver versions from the 1920s.

It got scaled smaller than I intended, so it would fit in the machine, but
it still does the job!
