<div dir="ltr">Hey,<div><br></div><div>I was invited by the Philippines embassy to participate in their parol contest. </div><div><br></div><div>It's a really easy thing to make and I though it could be a fun group project. </div><div><br></div><div>We could make a really big parol out of cardboard and tissue and then decorate it with LEDs and arduino...</div><div><br></div><div>I think it just needs an arduino and a strip or two of WS2812b. They strips don't even have to be cut since they can just be looped around inside it.</div><div><br></div><div>It's a great opportunity to flog arduino, electronics, diy, making, maker-movement. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's my own parol project <a href="http://inventorartist.com/tag/parol/">http://inventorartist.com/tag/parol/</a> (which is probably uninteresting for the contest since it's small)... </div><div><br></div><div>I happen to have a stash of cardboard at Artengine that is perfect for a large parol. The cardboard is very large and is the very thick kind (with two layers of congregation and three layers of actual cardboard). This stuff is hard to come by in perfect shape (and in that large format we had to use my buddies SUV to bring it in without warping it).</div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div><br></div><div><div>--</div><div>Darcy Whyte</div><div><br></div><div>Art+ <a href="http://inventorartist.com/" target="_blank">inventorArtist.com</a> | Aviation <a href="http://rubber-power.com/" target="_blank">rubber-power.com</a></div><div>Contact: <a href="mailto:darcy@inventorArtist.com" target="_blank">darcy@inventorArtist.com</a> | 613-563-3634 by appointment (no text)</div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
