Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are the new glitter.  

I will try try try again…..  

  I straightened many things in an orthogonal manner, but I left the cocktail umbrella skewed. Wishing y’all a great weekend!  

Its time to wind a new warp and dress Holly for Conductive Fabric Sample #3! But first I have to wet finish Sample #2 to measure for shrinkage, test its hand and see the finish. To accomplish that I must first find the sink So that I can clean the dishes. Then clean off the cutting table so the fabric […]

Artistic Ribbon will be unveiling their new LED Ribbon at the Winter 2013 Craft and Hobby Show (booth 724) in Anaheim, California.

cotton mint warp with lavender cashmere weft Mistakes in the warp threading as well as the weft make the fabric unacceptable for this specific project. However it is super sexy in its simplicity. I’ll reserve final judgement until after I wet finish the fabric.

  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.
