During this frantic time of my preparation for my keynote address and retrospective gallery show, I got a wonderful surprise when I first turned on the LEDs for my fiber optics weavings. I just got them back from the students at Cal Poly State University Materials Engineering Department in San Luis Obispo, CA. The students connected LEDs, batteries, etc, etc, to the pieces I wove with fiber optics threads. I will debut these pieces at the CNCH conference on May 18 at the Oakland Convention Center. Pass along this information to anyone who might want to attend. I’m really excited about this!
How very fun, Peggy. Please share some more about your fiber optic creations. More photos of your work? What fibers did you use? How are they woven? Is there a site where the electronics are discussed?
Will photos be available before or after the conference in Oakland?
Just magical! Becky
Amazing! Really impressed at the color variation and the amount of light it is emitting. Love reading your posts.
where can I buy this fibre to weave with?
The optical fiber was given to me a long time ago so I don’t know where to get it. Sorry. You can always ask Mr. Google 🙂
