late blogging. project 1 b

Ok time for some late blogging. Some vary late blogging. Half way through the study break I realised thsat I didnt have anywhere enough for my EL wire creation and was going to have to think a bit smaller if I was going to be able to make anything. I did some more precident gathering and research and  and looked at cheap bright colourful lighting solutions.

I looked mostly at LEDs and what I could do with them

Basically I wanted something bright colourful and mesmerizing. I didn't have the money to do anything controlled by an arduino or anything so I looked at what I could do with cheap mass produced parts.

 I sketched a bit to see what kind of shape I wanted and came up with a flower inspired design where as the lights would be on the end of stamen like objects drawing the eye and the person in like a flower does with an insect.

I  looked online at what I could get a lot of and saw led thees led colour changing eggs, they weren't very interesting with one but with several the colour changing looked very impressive and eye catching so I decided I would use them as my light sources so I ordered 40 of them planning to use 30 and having spares in case there were a few that didn't work.
