Stuffed Shrimp

I am making a jumbo shrimp light. It is a plush shrimp that will have EL wire sewn onto it.

Here is the shrimp before adding the light:

(The Fats Waller version is pretty nice, too.)

Armadillos in Motion

The 32nd Annual Museum of Luminous Phenomenon (the annual light show at Alfred University) was a success!


I displayed my neon armadillos. They are curling up into a ball. Check it out!

Starfinished!

Hooray! I have finished the stacked-neon-tube starfish. Here it is!

And a dance song to celebrate!

Electric Muffins

Hey! Good news from the studio: I've successfully bent, sealed electrodes to, and bombarded a tube within 24 hrs. And it worked! To celebrate, a bit of Billy Joel:

So anyways: I wanted to see how extra color would work inside the basket starfish lamp. The little shape makes a big difference in the color of the lamp... I tried it with the regular peach tube, both tubes, and the tangerine-orange. I actually like the last one the best.

And in other lamp news, The Jellyfish is finally stuffed. With bubble wrap. Lots and lots of bubble wrap. The color shows through much better than regular stuffing. Now it's like an electric muffin. The Electric Muffins might just be a good name for a rock band.
