Laser Cut Lamps 2014

This summer at ITP camp I made a few more lamps with laser cut parts, finishing up most of the ones that use fabric in the last few weeks. Here are a few pictures. One of the cut-up tee shirt lamps has buttons attached so you can “button up” the lamp various ways.

More ITP camp 2014

Camp is always great. This summer I learned a bit of python, worked with an Arduino Yun and Temboo- sending out different tweets with button pushes, set up a raspberry pi and made a stop motion animation, used the embroidery machine and cut up and etched a bunch of stuff with the laser cutter. Many great sessions on various topics, fun.

A few pictures of some of the stuff I did, some still in progress. More images soon as I finish things up.

Stop Motion Animation made with Raspberry Pi

I made a stop motion animation with my Raspberry Pi. It’s kind of dark, no audio and the timing is not perfect, but here is the rig I made it with. Yes, that little thing at the bottom of the photo is a computer, and that is the camera nailed to foam core. This is a “trailer” for an animation I am planning that uses texts from Freud’s Dream Analysis material and City of God by St. Augustine.

ITP Camp is great fun, as usual.

Breadboard Comic

I’ve been working on a comic that explains how to use a breadboard and create a number of different projects with Maker Media for a while. Here are the first 2 pages– they explain the basics of setting up a board. Gareth Branwyn initiated the project as a workshop at World Maker Faire in 2012, Sean Ragan edited and wrote the text for the circuit examples.

Enjoy!

Laser Cut Chain Mail Hoodie

At ITP camp I spent a lot of time on the laser cutter. I made this chain mail hoodie (or knight mask as one little girl called it). A few photos, better pictures to come.

Laser Cut Lamps

This year at ITP Camp I made laser cut lamps, some cut from old tee-shirts and other fabrics, some from acrylic cut and formed into chains or chain mail.
