Rarely do I come across something so very awesome. I mean, much of what’s in my “Things that are AWESOME” series is awesome, but this must be the most awesome-est of all. A daft punk helmet made from scratch. Made by Harrison Krix. It took seventeen months to build, with lots of prototyping and experimentation. [...]
This little project is really cool and only requires a few components, namely a lilypad, six or eight LEDs, conductive thread and material and velcro for the bracelet. POV stands for persistence of vision, the bracelet makes use of this little kink in our eyes workings, and creates words in thin air. I love the [...]
Ok, so the Galaxy dress by Cutecircuit has been around for a little while now, but that doesn’t stop it being awesome. The dress contains 24,000 LEDs, uses the same amount of power as 2 household light bulbs, and is powered by several ipod batteries. The LEDs are hand sewn onto a layer of silk, [...]
Woo! A few nice new items have appeared in my shop today, complete with shiny LEDs and tulle. Lots of tulle. I’m planning to add even more stock within the next week or two. Possibly paper craft and maybe even a programmed piece. So keep checking back!! Cream tulle and pearl light up headband Buy [...]
Today I started working on some paper projects, making a little paper wing for my first little prototype. My hope is that I’ll be able to make a whole bunch of models, cards or maybe even build your own killer robot kits, made from paper of possibly felt. How can all this shiny technology be [...]
You can now buy… glowing thunder storm necklace warm and fuzzy glowing heart necklace we like clouds DS lite sock. woop.
I decided to work on my thunder cloud a bit more, as the first one I made was a little bit too small to fit all the components onto. And I used a little bit too much glue. And he here is with the battery on… I’ve also been making a heart necklace. With a [...]
Here’s a couple of things that I’ve been working on today. I’ve recently got my mitts on some lovely felt, here are some of my ideas and experiments with it. I really like the idea behind this one, instead of making the LEDs the focal point of the piece I decided to place them on [...]
Here’s a quick little video of my knitted RFID weather interface, while it was being exhibited. I’m going to make another clearer video once my monitor is working properly again!
I’ve been making more progress on my little necklace, from getting a bit mad adding pearls to it, to finally making the final circuit, and tweaking the code. Here’s a snap of it’s unfinished innards, when I was just about to add the lilypad: Here it’s all glowy in the dark. OOH. I’m now ready [...]
