Quote from a blog regarding my cocoon pendant:

“The Cocoon Necklace takes its design cue from insect cocoons. It is made of felt-covered LEDs, the same way a cocoon would cover and protect the pupa inside. The soft glow coming from the LEDs represents the life inside of the cocoon – that’s you. Tasteful tech-art at its best.” - Robin Raskin, Living in Digital Times blog
