Kilobyte couture - Brittany Forks

Kilobyte Couture is all about thinking outside the box by using things meant to be inside the box - the computer box, that is: resistors, capacitors, and shiny things. Those parts that are never meant to be seen can be turned into beautiful jewellery. Author Brittany Forks, a college senior and self-confessed geek, explains all the components and techniques needed to create geek bling. Most items can be found at Radio Shack or online, so no actual computers need be harmed - a big relief to anyone in the nerd herd! Forks?s fun items showcase the smallest elements of techno gadgets, up-cycling them into pretty, surprising jewellery. They are easy to make and easy on the eyes.
