Solar Doggie
June 25, 2000

Here's the famous doggie I made from a solar pathway light -- I love the doggie!!

On a full charge, he'll last two hours on solid, and all night on blink-mode!

I hope one day to add "ARF" above his head, and possibly make the ARF blink and the rest solid! :)

Scott's ''Elroy hat''
June 2, 2000

Scott patterned his hat after the hat Elroy wore in the animation The Jetsons.

He made 5 rings instead, in decreasing size as they go up, then attached them
to a 5-channel sequencer he got with a t-shirt.

Sharon Apple bracelets
June 2, 2000

These bracelets were patterned after the ''virtual idol'' Sharon Apple
from the anime series Macross Plus.

As a mermaid-image, she has these bracelets that kind of float on her wrists.
I wanted to make el-wire bracelets similar.

I used music wire to hold them up and away from my wrists so they float.
