Browsed LED strips on ebay, and now contemplating on buying a 1 meter strip to outline the fur colour on my coat, but I'm hmmin and hawing over cool white vs. warm white. Such a tough decision

Sunny and 94 degrees with fairly low humidity - about as close to playa conditions as it gets here. Walked to work and trying to spend as much time outdoors as possible to start acclimating, but sadly it will be starting to cool down by the time I'm off work.

I leave for the playa in 63 days so now making stuff is in crunch time.

Do RGB, then you can change based on your mood!

Got my glowy-pretties (as someone in the Toronto burners' FB group has called them) in the mail today. Fibre-optic, (replaceable-)battery-powered, hair clips.

Hairclip-schmairclip; I'm going to use at least some of them to decorate hats.

Post by **trilobyte** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:34 pm

They're also called glowbies - fun stuff.

I had an overflowing mailbox full of packages from overseas containing a bunch of new el-wire, and battery op. rainbow led string lights.
Those rainbow led's are a lot brighter, and blinkier then what I was expecting, so I think I may have to order some more tonight.
Also, stocked up on the vitalyte, and did a little costco shopping for fluids.
And, picked up the ugliest most "atrocious" (as my daughter called it) rust colored fuzzy jacket. Maybe I'll attach some of the LED's to it just to up the gaudiness of it.

Shortened my leg warmers, sewed the top of a pair of arm warmers and 95% done one my bra zebra top. I forgot one of the cups at my house so couldnt put it on . other then that we are good to go on it I think. I kinda want to put some gems on it though. It is pretty plane. Also started a bit more work on my Apocalypse skirt. Going to be pretty bad ass after im done i hope.

Y'all inspire me so much! Makes me want to go beyond stencils and safety vests...

I go the time off work just now ... will probably make the call on alternative plans by July 4th.

Honestly, I'm eyeing 2013. It's all good, though.

Good for you, gettin' your time off 48_Love . . . fingers crossed for you. It's really hard to type with crossed fingers.

Bought my canned mochas today. And some granola bars.

FeetOfClay · Post by **FeetOfClay** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 2:15 pm

Today, bought 5 blinky clip-on LED lights (the kind you'd use when biking at nite) at Dollar store.
$5=5 lights that can be moved around from my play coat to my bike to whatever is needed

I went to the mailbox today and look what greeted me:

Thank You Shambala!!!

I couldn't figure out if this belonged in the Happy Thread ('cause it makes me very happeh) or here ('cause it's an item and also a day)...

Not really an item, but I just hired a housekeeper who promises to babysit my dog while I am away in Nevada.

I totally understand the significance of finding someone to watch the dog. Lucky you!

Hmmm RGB... I did see a multicolour one complete with a remote to change the colours. It's nice that my coat's fur colour is a light grey so anything would show up nice. I'll price them out then decide if I'm willing to spend it. I noticed there are ones with a sticky backing, which is definitely easier to attach before sewing it to be playa proof.

Bit of shopping today buying little things. Bought 50 Button cell batterys for $7 *(hope they arnt junk)

tg--the learning curve on fimo might be that second is very ambitious. Also, if you have any sort of reaction to it (my hands get itchy), I'm not sure putting it in your ears is okay. Even further, super sculpy is the strongest polymer clay (at least at the time I last seriously worked with the stuff). Might react better to the stress; they also make an elasticy one--after my time, so I'm not sure what it's like.

sewed 2 more pairs of pants today for the playa: red and black ruffly "rhumba" pants, and black bike shorts with metallic gold and purple embellishments! yay!

Fufa · Post by **Fufa** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 12:57 pm

Just purchased 2 RGB 5050 LED strips off of ebay, each 1 metre in length and 60 LEDs/m. They each came with a controller for 16 colours, 5 solid/flash modes, and several settings for brightness and flash speed. Hopefully it turns out as nicely as it appears. Now to wait for them to come cross the ocean to my mailbox.
