My conductive thread supply is diminishing at the speed of light. Night and day I am weaving conductive fabric, sewing circuits or prototyping the next design. The thread supply is running out!     The conductive thread on this pink spool is no longer manufactured. As you can see – this is going to be a serious problem  

  Electronically conductive paint for paper computing from the super talented and hardworking folks at Bare Conductive. Thanks for sponsoring paper computing supplies for my workshop at Tasmeem Doha in March!  

  Plain weave of fantasy fabrics, beads and LEDs. 20 inches done 50 more to go!  

    Conductive thread. The staple of eTextiles. When creating eTextiles, craft Tech and wearable computing projects purchase conductive thread with 15 ohms/foot resistance or less.   My How to Select Conductive Thread video shares the details about selecting conductive thread for your eTextile projects.  

    Handwoven double plainweave with fantasy yearns, LEDs and beads. This electrically conductive fabric will be used to craft a couture dress that will be shown at Tasmeem Doha Qatar March 2013.  

  In March I’ll be in Doha, Qatar leading a workshop on eTextiles and wearable computing. Thanks to MaxBotix’s sponsorship – 25 international students will be working with MB1000 – EZ1 ultrasonic range finders.   This is the same sensor I used for the haptic coat for the blind, Bats Have Feelings Too (2008).  

  Quadrate LEDs and little tiny weeny crimping beads.
