From looking further into the book Fashionable Technology by Sabine Seymour, I've come across a designer and artist who has very much inspired my idea of original idea wearable technology with light and mixing materials. She has been fascinated by the idea of wearable electronic jewelry and the intersection of handmade crafts with emerging technologies. Here are a few examples of her work;

| Address Necklase - Mouna Andraos - Fashionable Technology by Sabine Seymour |
Address is a handmade piece of electronic jewelry, made up of silver, acrylic, wood and electronics. It is designed to serve as a personal connection to a place where you either have a strong connection with such a birthplace or somewhere you long to be. By selecting this place when first given the pendant, it is initialized and displays how many kilometres you are from the location you have entered.."making the world a little smaller or maybe a little bigger" - Mouna Andraos.

This handmade MP3 player is designed as an alternative to the fragile MP3 and music players, which can be easily opened and modified. The thick rubber transparency on the outside acts as a protection and lets the user see the insides, it also adds a unique appearance and unconventional design to the typical music player.
