PCompatible Earrings

Posted by Armanda Lewis on Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 - Link

Today I made the PCompatible Earrings, earrings made of physical computing (pcomp) parts. I wanted a short design exercise since I work today, so yesterday I made these sketches: http://itp.nyu.edu/blogs/al861/files/earring_designs.thumbnail.jpg Ultimately, though, I let the components themselves dictate the design.
