hello + welcome to my mind

this is my digital scrapbook for sharing daily thoughts and musings, coding experiments, designs circulating my head + more!

midnight hair spiking !

liv and i were inspired by some spiked hairstyles we saw, so decided to spike my hair the other night. at first we struggled. but after 1 and a half youtube videos (and copious amounts of hairpray) we finally got the hang of it. this is what i looked like!

i'd definitely consider spiking my hair for a future event. but it would have to be a super special event because my poor scalp was hurting the next day and i think i breathed in an unhealthy amount of hairspray.

i am learning javascript so i can make cool designs and interactives with p5js and post them on this page! (just like the one below)

ant just gave me access to his scrimba account, so i will start using that to help me learn.

this interactive is very much based on this code (click here for code) . i made a few changes but the foundation is the same. when i'm learning a coding language, i find it helpful to go through and analyse other people's code, making sure i know what each line does. i am not taking credit for this code at all, it's a step in my learning process.

see what happens when you draw on the canvas! use the sliders to adjust the line thickness and number of symmetry lines.

(this is a bit tricky to do on the phone i'm sorry)
