Wanting to create an interactive shadow box that could look different with different LED configurations, I came up with an idea for a shadow box triggered by one or two reed switches.
To learn how I did this (and to access the circuit diagrams and cut files), please check out my tutorial, Reed Switch Shadow Box, over on the Chibitronics blog.

Wanting to figure out an easy way to add light to a handmade carousel book, I had the opportunity to do some prototyping during an extended power outage.
 |
| This was my first prototype of the Carousel Book Light. |
The results turned into my latest tutorial for Chibitronics, the Carousel Book Light (featuring Chibitronics LED stickers, of course).

I recently took an online course called "Pop Up Fundamentals: Storytelling with Paper and Light" taught by Karen Friel!
In it, we were invited to create a pop up book, inspired by a city we love!
This is my first pop up book, showcasing three of my favorite places in Munich!

| Fraunkirche Munich |

| Chinese Tower Beer Garden |
In my latest tutorial, Dissolve Card: Light Up Picture Switcher, I’ll show you how to make a light-up version of a Victorian Era mechanism known as a dissolve, or dissolve card.
This paper mechanics project combines a trick of the eye (and pictures that flip) with a little electronic trickery — Circuit Sticker LEDs and a sliding switch!
While the examples showcased in this project have a Halloween vibe, the paper circuit techniques you’ll learn may be applied for a variety of themes!
