Conductive Materials: Playing with Drawdio

This week we play with different conductive materials to create closed circuits using Drawdio. We add fabric to the equation and start thinking about creating open and closed circuits using the human body, and embroidered conductive thread.

Drawdio is created by Jay Silver and Adafruit Industries

Fairytale Fashion is using technology to create a collection magical clothing in real life (with blooming flowers, transforming shapes, changing colors, etc.) for Feb. 2010. We share our work in weekly research and development web videos. You can help us create the designs by answering the design question at the end of each video on FairytaleFashion.org

I want to be able to answer my phone or make calls by touching embroidery on my clothes.

I think the dress should have both music and led lights. But it definitely should NOT make that annoying noise from the drawdio. I am thinking a midi music tune.
