I just got my copy of the new book Switch Craft by Allison Lewis and Fang-Yu Lin. I was especially excited when I saw that it was spiral bound. Finally a digi-craft book that sits flat on a work table! There are a lot of great projects in this book. I will definitely try out a few and post them here. The aesthetic of many of the projects is pretty interesting. There’s a clutch that lights up the word “tease” on the side when you open up. Is this a feminist reclaiming of the word tease or was tease really never reclaimed? Something to think about definitely. I love the section on “Basic Switch Elements”. It’s a great how-to for beginning gadgetcrafters. I’m definitely going to have to try out the gadget gloves as well. A glove I can use to control an iphone! I say hell yes!!
The official site isn’t up yet but keep checking back here: http://www.iheartswitch.com/switchcraft/
