I am having way too much fun playing with copper tape, LEDs and Attiny85 microprocessors!Right now, I'm in the process of designing a book cover featuring a sparkling sea turtle, as a gift for my daughter. I've begun prototyping it, but I'm still trying to work out where the battery and microprocessor will go.
I'm also trying to determine whether I can adhere artwork over the circuit using PVA glue. I'm not worried about the LEDs, but I am worried that the cover will look lumpy in areas where the paper comes in contact with bumps of solder. For the time being, this remains a work in progress. To see my progress, please visit this related blog post.

| Here's my rough sketch. I used adhesive address labels between the traces to keep them from touching in areas where they overlap. |
