steampunk keyboard

 with the status lights glowing through

and #2, with new "branding"...

inspired by Jake Von Slatt and Richard "Doc" Nagy's work; fully functional--it is the keyboard for my desktop computer.

UPDATE: when I wrote this post I was even greener than I am now with blogging, so I didn't know how to link to give the proper credit and "props".  So here is the new and improved entry, with my apologies to readers and my inspirations in this: please click on the links, they both do some gorgeous stuff (note: FYI Doc Nagy's link is to his store since he does sell his work). Thank you!

NEW AND IMPROVED POST: This was inspired by Jake Von Slatt's and Richard "Doc" Nagy's work.

throwies

my first throwies! they're supposed to be in the shape of a heart...in real life the shape shows up better. wish they lasted longer--may add resistors next time per suggestion from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories(evilmadscientist.com).  Update: The second batch lasted longer with resistors, although yellow and red bulbs were first to go. Green and blue bulbs are dim but still glowing after ten days (at least--I forgot to count...).
