s soon as I saw Czech-based artist Jirˇí Praus’
beautiful creations, I knew I wanted to make
my own version. While I will never be able to
top the Freeduino, I created this LED bow-tie as
my own first attempt into exploring free-form
circuits. While circuit boards are commonly
used to mask complicated wirings, free-form circuits turn it into
a feature, and highlight just how beautiful circuitry can be. With
some careful planning and soldering, I turned a handful of 3M
LEDs and some wire into a fabulous accessory. The subtle orange
glow is perfect for proms, weddings, or your next formal event.
