Wearable electronics

[rybitski]

I make nick-nacks from recycled electronics. All of the proto types were gifts for my girl friend... She loved them, so I decided to make a web site and try to sell some of them...
Here are a few examples of what I make:
Ear rings:

Pendants:

Keychains:

My girlfriend used to wear capacitors as her earings.. once, i made her a greeting card from a 4x6 PCB...

nice accesories, dude!  8)

 

[rybitski]

Thanks ;D

 

[rybitski]

What are some opinions?

 

[rybitski]

Just made this tonight:

Hoope you like it.

 

[ante1]

Is that a couple of timers….. ?  ;D  ;D

 

[rybitski]

Some of those free samples from Maxim.  8)

 

[ante1]

OH NO, you shouldn’t use good parts for this. I just praised your way of reusing things and now you have exposed yourself! ;D

 

[rybitski]

They went me the wrong sample so it was just going to ly around in my parts case for years... Technically I saved it from being wasted.  :-\

 

[rybitski]

Maybe this will make up for it:
Spent last right de soldering components from a monitor I found in a dumpster.

What is left of the poor monitor:

(still some work to do) :-\

 

[logan_dslasher]

rybitski, you're really into this, huh?!
maybe, you can even do some art work.. sculptures perhaps, like a big LEGO statue.. or maybe simple house decorations..  ;D

see you at Ripley's!!

Ante's picture:

has inspired me, but I'm not sure what I want to make mine do...
???
any suggestions?

Hi Chris,

May I suggest you build a clock radio for your bedside table!

 

[rybitski]

Now that would be pretty nifty. ;D
Know any medium compexity clock radio designs? (I'm still a newbie when it comes to IC's... :-[)

 

[ante1]

Sorry, can’t help you there. I have no schematic for such a device.

 

[rybitski]

Maybe I could just take an old clock radio and de-solder the components and then carefully re-assemble them suspended in the air.
I have no room for such a device on my bedside table, take a look:

(My room is a bit cleaner now than it was then...) :-\

 

[ante1]

Holy cow!

If you throw away all those 386’s you’ll get plenty of room!

I plann on moving them downstairs into my workshop (which is a complete disaster right now) after I finish building some shelves.
I asked for a cople old hdd's and my friend brought me 6 old premio's that he bought at an auction (20 for $5). Kind of surprised me, when I went out to my car and he was sitting there waiting with 6 big paper weights...

Pictures pictures….  from the workshop! ;D
