The Bad News:
The Felxinol I ordered was out of stock, which put me a week behind on my timeline.
The Good News:
The revised order has already shipped and I should have it by the end of the week!
In other news…
I started doing some testing on the textiles for my exhibition piece. I felted a test piece and did a Thiox discharge, which worked great!
On the topic of other projects, I finally finished adding the LEDs to the Lightning Gown and ran a testing program – they all work!! I have a fabric bend sensor kit coming soon that I will install to get the gestural response I was looking for.
The “Moodie” has been accepted to the fashion show and has also been submitted to Design Gallery 2014. Rather than have the sensors freak out while on display, I found some code to create a looping crossfade of colors in the RGB LEDs, which looks great.
