• Title. “Tight it to Light it!”
• Description. This swatch (when light and the battery are in place) is to light a LED when the belt is tightened.
• Materials. conductive fabric & paint & thread are used.
• Techniques. Conductive threads are hand sewed onto a fabric that is used for embroidery.
• References. I wanted to be creative with surface contact activated circuit. And thought a way of making two surfaces lock up to light the LED. (the belt!)

I’m using conductive paint spread on the fabric! and the thread.

belt type switch! using conductive fabric also. I liked that even a thin layer of the paint was able complete the circuit. I enjoyed hand sewing experience =].
