Whoa! What a Saturday at Maker Faire Bay Area! We were so busy all day that I never got a chance to post anything! Here’s what our booth looks like, we’ll be there one more day, tomorrow (Sunday) until 5pm!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, I’ve had so many great convos and seen so many fun things! We’ve already sold out of a few Glowie shapes and the @wizard Pixelblaze Beautiful Box Kit!

All of our Glowies are packed up and ready for #makerfairebayarea this weekend! We’re heading out tomorrow, can’t wait to see you there! We’re in Storehouse South, a low building near the entrance. We’ll also have a chance to win a prize basket, more details soon! #mfba2025 #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #cyberpunk

If you’re wondering about the cards that I’m putting in the boxes, here they are. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

And prepping the packaging so we can just grab a box at Maker Faire. This is why I’ve been hoarding these small boxes for like 5+ years and hundreds of practically pristine ESD zip bags that some PCBs shipped in sometime. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

Production today starts with a little dip in some conformal coat to insulate the exposed pads and wires. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry

Soldering. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

It would help if I attached the video. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #beer #theredoesnotexist

Glowies are brought to you by a copious amount of coffee and IPA. My current favorite local brewery, There Does Not Exist. They’re doing excellent clean IPAs as well as light beers like lagers, kolsches, and pilsners. And their artwork on every can is amazing. (see reply for artwork I swear I’ve only had one sip so far.) #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #beer #theredoesnotexist

Yo dawg I heard you like panels. Shout-out to @kicad and KiKit for making me able to do exactly the panelization I wanted. Took a bit of figuring the settings, but I got there. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry #kicad #kikit

Glowie assembly! Double-stick tape is already on the PCBs, I plug in a battery, peel the tape, stick the battery down, and dress the wires. Then I snap the bottom cover on, and snap the top cover on. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

Ugly bags of mostly water, take me to your leader! #glowies #alpenglowies #mfba2025 #makerfaire #makerfairebayarea
