Free time can be hard to come by, but when I get some I like to use it well. Here are some of the more exciting, non-sewing projects (those deserve their own category) I've created in my spare time. Many of these were inspired (as always) by the lovely Trevor.


Soft Electronics

Finally, I've begun making projects that match the name of this site!
Fused Plastic

I created flowers from fused plastic bags. They have glowing LED centers: my first electronics project.

Crochet

Recently I have learned to crochet; here are some of my creations!
Computer

I like computers: I spent a summer working for the Stanford Graphics lab designing applets; I'm currently studying the algorithms underlying ant foraging behavior. I also enjoy webdesign.
Earrings

I used to make many crazy earrings; here is a selection of the best of them.

Please contact me if you are interested in more detail about any of these projects.
