Light Up Necklace.

As a person who has created necklaces previously I thought it would be a good idea to create a necklace out of the materials used in the workshop this past week. I was wrong. It was a great idea. The design is pretty straight forward; a person is just wearing a simple circuit that turns on and off with the opening and closing of the snap clips. I thought if men were to wear the necklace the design should be spartan and contain no additional fabric while for women multiple sleeves could be created for the necklace. There is a slight weight problem with the battery. It continues to fall from the back of one's neck to the chest area. This imbalance causes the light to be moved constantly. The other problem that occurred is the cross of wires from time to time, which cause a break in the circuit and the light does not turn on even when the circuit is closed.  Since the material is a string the necklace becomes entangled quite easily and storage of the necklace becomes a slight problem. Here are pictures of me wearing the necklace.
