Happy Halloween! [mwah-hah-hah-haah!]

Last night, after working on an LED-based Halloween costume prop, it occurred to me that the Spooky Bend from the Circuit Bending 101 workshops I’m doing in November [Nottingham, Birmingham] might be kind of cool in the dark.

It is!

The single red LED nicely up-lights your hands as you do your stuff.

It turns out it’s quite bright too, adding another layer of distress to this photo and video:

There are a handful of places left for the workshops, so if you’d like your own spooky, glowy, maniacal laughter device you can make your own (along with the two other projects). I’ve had a couple of these in my flat for a month of two now and can vouch for it being an addictive toy at any time of year!
