Shoes for play

For my shoes for the play hand in on Friday I decided to do a pair that lit up the ankels of the wearer to show them off. Here is how its going so far. I've bought some surface mount leds and they are absoulutely tiny, I wanted them small but god they are small. Anyway while waiting for them to arrive i played around with normal l.e.ds to get to positioning of them right. I had been thinking of ways to mount the l.e.d.s and I saw these and loved the collar on them.

I played around and here are the results
I think it looks quite cool but one problem of having a collar is that the heal is acutally hidden from the sides and back which, for the shoe for the play hand in, I don't want. The surface mount l.e.ds are also white so a different effect. Next week is all about the making this work and look good. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I don't know how much sleep i'll get next week.
