Using conductive paints and the "paper" arduino, mechanical engineering student Jie Qi created this lovely interactive electronic pop-up book that illuminates and plays sounds.
Jie Qi used conductive and resistive paint on each pop-up page. The silver traces are water-based conductive paint that contain copper powder while the black traces are the resistive paint. Personally, I love the sound and interaction of the magnetic power source and "paper" arduino circuit board that snaps into place. (Littlebits also uses magnets as connection points). As demonstrated in the videos, Jie Qi created a set of novel switches and controls using paper, conductive fabric, conductive paint and resistive paint. Lastly in the video above, Leah Buechley, the inventor of the Lilypad Arduino, presents the pop-up book at Ars Electronica 2009. It's a Creative World: PROJECT 2009 END OF THE YEAR. Hi from Caz.
Wow! I am totally loving my 2008/2009 layout a month album. And here is my final layout, December 2009... I didn't imagine that I would look upon it in this way, and I love that in years to come I can look back and remember how life was and what we did. I'm so looking forward to 2010 and the layouts I can add to my next little album. haPPy scraPPing! Hello, Eleanor here, wishing all our readers a very Happy and creative 2010. By the end of the year, and so, the end of Project 2009, there was very little room in my gardening tote for the final minibook, so I had to make sure it was thin enough to fit in one of the outside pockets.

By Kate on June 1, 2011 My lovely friend bought me a very cute owl mold for my birthday so I’ve been making some tiny owl crayons to send back to her.
I managed to bag a cute little tin to put them in (I’m a sucker for a charity shop!). I also made some glitter sticks for my sons (we are all very jackdaw-ish!). They are perfect for adding a bit of a spangle to pictures without the stress, because, let’s face it, little children + glitter = a very big mess to clean up (which is fine sometimes….but not all the time!). If you wanna have a go click on the link at the bottom for instructions Tangent #1: The friend who bought me the cute owl mold also told me a long while ago about a fab recipe for scones that required just three ingredients. Tangent #2: I have been trying to make bath crayons by melting soap and adding food colouring….one problem…they don’t work.
