THE SOFT ELECTRIC
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007
The Soft Electric by Grace Kim is a project I blogged about awhile ago on Popgadget. A very pretty project that does a great job of integrating electronics into the garment.
From the website:
“The capelet was knitted and felted by hand. It is embroidered with conductive thread. The thread carries electric current to LEDs that are beaded into the embroidery, making the electronic current part of the garment’s adornment. The LED beads flicker, acting like a sequin in the light.”
To see some of the techniques used in this project see her blog or read her thesis.
