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.&#8221;</em> - Robin Raskin, Living in Digital Times blog</p> <p><a href="http://livingindigitaltimes.com/2012/01/04/wearable-fashion-thats-cutting-edge/" target="_blank">http://livingindigitaltimes.com/2012/01/04/wearable-fashion-thats-cutting-edge/</a></p>http://colleenmccarten.tumblr.com/post/18320430554http://colleenmccarten.tumblr.com/post/18320430554Sun, 26 Feb 2012 11:53:00 -0500publicity<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00enyxpLK1rn91edo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="hasCaption">Cocoon Pendant<br/>Merino wool, LEDs<br/>2011<br/></span></p>http://colleenmccarten.tumblr.com/post/18320134844http://colleenmccarten.tumblr.com/post/18320134844Sun, 26 Feb 2012 11:47:00 -0500LEDsfeltnecklacecocoonpendanttextile<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcrzso1xlY1rn91edo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>19th c.
