This is super simple but super easy with good style payoff. I am currently noodling around with how to refine the idea or just adapt it to a sewing recon class lesson.
Busted LCD monitor turned into a light box
As an artist I thought this was awesome… great way to have a portable nice light table for low and good green fuzzies.

This is a cool little light made from two LED’s a coin cell batter binder clips and a piece of paper. I thought it very cleaver and I like to ready about women hackers makin’ stuff.

DIY Lighted Constellation Canvas

This was a quick (relatively) easy fun mood lighting piece from Threadbanger
I am thinking a mod using some smaller pin lights like these from Elemental LED would be cool too! (And it can be hooked up to a battery with ease.

designer Joe Browns
I usually am strictly DIY… seriously. But I do check out big fashion for inspiration and for those pieces I just don’t want to make by hand. As a larger lady 2013 has been huge dissapointment commercially. The pallet for the spring/summer season is crap. The worst parts of the 80′s have come back and of course the offerings for the average american woman suck – let along options for those of us just a little bit bigger.
That said I found a designer I liked that made clothes that weren’t just shapeless squares of blaaaaahhh. Joe Browns… though on the designer site (UK) they didn’t have the bigger sizes they did have them on Simply Be.
I thought it was worth a mention.
DIY Activity Book
The folks over at Cosmo Cricket have a nifty tutorial on how to make a activity “book”. I thought it was a neat idea and takes the “book bag” concept further.

Vertebrae Hoodie recon via maison des reveries
This is one of the better hoodie recon’s I have seen. I really like the simplicity of it… funky bold and not too fussy. Check out the tutorial here.
Gaitor Tutorial from Festive Attyre
festive attyre blog: Spats
I found this tutorial for gaiters on the Festive Attyre blog that was pretty darn good… except her image links were broken. But that aside the instructions were written well and that is what counts.

Failure to pulsing responsive EL wire
So the music they chose was a little rav-a-riffic but imagine it done to say the music from the Guns of Navarone?
Months of Failure lead up to this EL panel dimmer that pulses to the music

Easy Slippers
These look like an ideal project for Hacker Scouts and the laser cutter at Ace Monster Toys. A quick satisfying project found Green Dump and designed by Gaspard Tiné-Berès.

Pop up pixels
So I like pop up cards. I especially like making them. When my youngest was in school I used to make them all the time… and I miss it. While killing time I came across this post from manmadediy.com
