Since I have little experience with circuits, I wanted to start with something relatively simple. I am especially interested in the design possibilities that are opened by the array of conductive materials that we have seen so far. I wanted to make something very light that doesn’t look overtly technical and could possibly be incorporated into dancewear or jewelry.
-> The materials that I chose were the conductive thread and the iron-on adhesive conductive fabric on a net substrate. The switch is a dangling metal bead, which completes the circuit by contacting the conductive fabric. The thread is connected by being sandwiched between two pieces of fabric that are fused together. The thread ends are not connected permanently to the battery module so that this element may be added into a larger grouping later.
