Another #makergiftexchange win!
Scored a stunning, sound-reactive LED pillow by @flashingjanet in a #makergiftexchange and I have been carrying it with me and talking to it to watch it react. The black mesh cover creates a lovely moiré effect. Janet creates amazing LED wearables and decor and is worth following!

Another pillow demo, running different patterns (there are 20 options), with different music. This was part of the #makergiftexchange that I did with some friends, and the first sample is shipping out today to @geekmomprojects.com
The stickers have arrived, thank you! #makergiftexchange They're even more shimmery in person - I look forward to using them to encourage people to "do it, coward!" (including myself)
#makergiftexchange update: these are now on their way to @flashingjanet.bsky.social, whose own contribution to the exchange was way, way more impressive! I'll leave it to her to describe that one, though 🎵
The #makergiftexchange is fantastic. I love seeing what they all come up with, and with all the fun of a white elephant. It was a fantastic excuse to learn some stuff and make a thing a friend will enjoy. 🧵2/3
For the #makergiftexchange last week with friends, I made a POV clock. Using one RGB LED and a seven segment display, it draws up to 21 characters and a full circle of 180 virtual pixels on a spinning circular PCB. Loosely inspired by Bob Blick's "Propeller Clock." 🧵1/3
A roll of stickers in a black plastic dispenser. Each sticker is a silver holographic circle, about 1 inch diameter, with "Do it you Coward" written in the Jokerman typeface.
Our #makergiftexchange happened on Wednesday, another moment where I'm bowled over by just how creative my friends and colleagues can be. My contribution was an inside joke. Did you know that, in Shenzhen, they'll let you print whatever you want on those shiny holographic security stickers?
I’m so excited that I can finally show this to you all! I’ve been working on it for a while, as part of an annual white elephant #makergiftexchange that I do with some friends every year. This time I went for the full cross-over and made a #crochet LED hat.
I made a PCB icosahedron for a #makergiftexchange, learning a lot in the process. I wanted it to be see-through, so the sides have triangular holes containing etched acrylic pieces illuminated at the corners. Laser cut faux leather covers the outside. A #Pixelblaze controls the patterns.
