Led eyelashes

Thanks to Macrofab for pushing me to start documenting my project on hackaday.io.

I created my account here over a year ago, with the intent to show my projects, but never got to it. And now, here's my first project-log.

A friend of mine competes in bodypaint competitions. I had already helped her adding some led bling to her headpieces. Remembering Soomi Parks project (http://soomipark.com/main/?portfolio=led-eyelash), mid 2016  I decided to make my own version of her led eyelashes.

Both versions ran on CR2032 coin cell batteries.
