Catching up

In the couple of weeks I've been working on some little projects that are a bit different from what I usually do.I made some earrings and prayer beads.

But,of course,I haven't left the electronics path altogether.I'm now working on a LED chaser circuit with a 74HCT14 chip instead of the usual 555 timer.

My latest lamp is finished,this time not made with coloured,but textured acrylic.Once again I used flattened coins for decorations(for those who want to know:they are Spanish Peseta pieces).The bulb I used is a energy saving Megaman Zenia.On the top and bottom I attached Aluminium sheet for maximum reflection.

Robin Steamboat

While browsing in one of my favourite antique shops I found this pop-pop boat from the 1960's made by Anand Toys in India.It is in decent condition but misses the little figure which sits on the burner.But it came with the original box and was only 4 euro (about $5,25).
