All the nodes are ready! This time, I decided to write the names before hammering the nails. Last time, I waited until after because I wasn’t sure if I’d need to change the base — but this time I wanted more space to write and make sure every name is clearly visible! #DHMakes

This week in #DHMakes: once all my crosses are marked where the nodes should be, I keep Gephi open on the table as a guide. Beneath each cross I start writing the names of the people who shape the network of the different versions of Las golondrinas. #NailandNodes

Once I have everything more or less figured out, I use a pencil to mark small crosses on the wood where the nodes are — this becomes my guide for later, when I start writing the names of the artists who participated in this network of the different versions of Las golondrinas. #DhMakes

After getting everything roughly in place, I start adjusting the projection while looking at the wood to make sure the network sits exactly where I want it. Then I play with the space, deciding whether to leave areas open for archival materials, photos, and other elements. #DHMakes

This week I started working again on my new #DHMakes piece! Since several people asked how I scale the design onto the wood, here’s a look at my setup — laptop and projector on one side of the room, the wood panel on the other, all ready to begin!

#DHMakes just in case you want to see the material closer. I’m using this side as the back, because it’s not in good shape and I will paint the other!

Today at #NailsandNodes, I decided it would be best to start by putting some hangers on the back. Last time was the last time, and I didn't put them on at the end because they damaged the piece. #DHMakes

After my experience with #DHMakes, I decided to start something that I called “Crafty Quizzes” for my Spanish via Cinema class. I prepared a zines template with power point with 6 questions about the movie of the week. Before starting to answer, they needed to fold the paper and play around

#DhMakes after it, time to thread the edges legend! This is the process that I usually follow which each color. Instead of tying a knot with each nail, I make a first knot and wrap the rest around it. When I finish all the color, I make the second knot and glue it. TBH, the wrapping always relax me

#DHMakes for the edges legend, I measure the wood and made two marks with a pencil. Here I’m picking the nails and use a ruler to guide me
