powering the Claytronix / ceramitronica

Thanks to the global situation my residency here at Instant42 is getting longer… no way to get to Europe until July… So my experiments continue… and continue 😀

I have been thinking about how to power my little figures, they should be portable and autonomous. And low-cost power. So I started making different kinds of cell battery holders for CR2032, trying many knobs, LEDs and buttons and sculpting them all into the little figures. My first ever attempt to use conductive thread!

1. cardboard and copper tape
2. clay and copper tape
3. fabric and conductive thread
