Hi Folks! Do you struggle with high priced personal hygine products that just slip right off your hands and wash down the drain? Do you know where to find bath salts?

Recap from Artist Ghetto Meeting 11/9
by Joe on Nov.17, 2011, under Crafts, Electronics, Events, Meetings, Presentations, Projects
We discussed briefly whether we would have a 4th Wednesday meeting in December (We WILL NOT have a 4th Wednesday meeting in November). As the 4th Wednesday falls in the holiday doldrums on December 28th it might be fine for an informal, project show and dream and tell meetup. Roy will be there no matter what.
Rick showed the programmable LED artwork he made with pool concrete, LEDs and film canisters.
Roy showed the LED t-shirt he screenprinted (his first) and lit with the knowledge he got from Rick’s LED class. Roy also showed my first steps with Arduino — a PWM sketch that faded in, then faded out an LED. Woo hoo!
Dru demonstrated us his excellent progress on the sewing machine that Judith had brought. After removing the rust on a few key components he had it cranking and sounding like a real live stitching machine.
