I really liked the simplicity of Hobo lantern that I posted earlier and the heartfelt lantern made for Japan. The idea that the lantern can light up people’s mood appeal to me. I want to make a bunny lantern that can function as an arm warmer. The elliptical holes enable this piece to hang from wall to act as a night light, but the shape is such that you can wear it on your arm. There will be a bunny face on the palm side. I thought of this idea while running at the crack of dawn where I really need to pay attention to my surroundings. I didn’t happen to wear anything reflective and since I lost my arm warmers at the last year’s NYC marathon, I thought it would be a good idea to make one for myself.
Thats an interesting idea! I like the function of the arm warmer and the fact that you’ll be the only runner in the marathon with wearable electronics! I guess the challenge is to keep the electronics from being bulky and uncomfortable while running.
